The large number of B c mesons observed by LHCb suggests a sizable cross section for producing doubly heavy baryons in the same experiment. Motivated by this, we estimate masses of the doubly heavy J = 1 / 2 baryons Ξ c c , Ξ b b , and Ξ b c , and their J = 3 / 2 hyperfine partners, using a method which accurately predicts the masses of ground-state baryons with a single heavy quark. We obtain M ( Ξ c c ) = 3627 ± 12 MeV , M ( Ξ c c * ) = 3690 ± 12 MeV , M ( Ξ b b ) = 10162 ± 12 MeV , M ( Ξ b b * ) = 10184 ± 12 MeV , M ( Ξ b c ) = 6914 ± 13 MeV , M ( Ξ ′ b c ) = 6933 ± 12 MeV , and M ( Ξ b c * ) = 6969 ± 14 MeV . As a byproduct, we estimate the hyperfine splitting between B c * and B c mesons to be 68 ± 8 MeV . We discuss P-wave excitations, production mechanisms, decay modes, lifetimes, and prospects for detection of the doubly heavy baryons.
