Description

We report measurements of the masses and mean lifetimes for ground state b-baryons updated with the full Tevatron run II data set obtained by the CDF detector. The baryons are reconstructed in decay modes with a J/psi or Xi_c, namely Lambda_b --> J/psi Lambda, Xi_b^- --> J/psi Xi, Omega_b --> J/psi Omega, Xi_b^- --> Xi_c^0 pi^-, and Xi_b^0 --> Xi_c^- pi^+. These are legacy measurements for b-baryons from CDF.
