Reposted by @nielstuning.bsky.socialPatrick Koppenburg 🐧 @koppenburg.ch · 21/09/2026But what about the baryon with three charm quarks? Quantum mechanics forces it to have spin 3/2, and thus it is in another multiplet. The Ωccc⁺⁺ is probably already there in the data, but too rare to be seen. We will likely need the second upgrade of the LHCb detector to see it. /end 063

No sign of lepton-flavour-violating effects is observed. 082
