Here, we highlight measurements of the masses and decay widths of the baryonic states Σ c ( 2455 ) 0 / + + and Σ c ( 2520 ) 0 / + + using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb - 1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e - asymmetric-energy collider operating at the Υ ( 4 S ) resonance. We report the mass differences with respect to the Λ c + baryon M ( Σ c ( 2455 ) 0 ) - M ( Λ c + ) = 167.29 ± 0.01 ± 0.02 MeV / c 2 , M ( Σ c ( 2455 ) + + ) - M ( Λ c + ) = 167.51 ± 0.01 ± 0.02 MeV / c 2 , M ( Σ c ( 2520 ) 0 ) - M ( Λ c + ) = 231.98 ± 0.11 ± 0.04 MeV / c 2 , M ( Σ c ( 2520 ) + + ) - M ( Λ c + ) = 231.99 ± 0.10 ± 0.02 MeV / c 2 , and the decay widths Γ ( Σ c ( 2455 ) 0 ) = 1.76 ± 0.0 4 - 0.21 + 0.09 MeV / c 2 , Γ ( Σ c ( 2455 ) + + ) = 1.84 ± 0.0 4 - 0.20 + 0.07 MeV / c 2 , Γ ( Σ c ( 2520 ) 0 ) = 15.41 ± 0.4 1 - 0.32 + 0.20 MeV / c 2 , Γ ( Σ c ( 2520 ) + + ) = 14.77 ± 0.2 5 - 0.30 + 0.18 MeV / c 2 , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The isospin mass splittings are measured to be M ( Σ c ( 2455 ) + + ) - M ( Σ c ( 2455 ) 0 ) = 0.22 ± 0.01 ± 0.01 MeV / c 2 and M ( Σ c ( 2520 ) + + ) - M ( Σ c ( 2520 ) 0 ) = 0.01 ± 0.15 ± 0.03 MeV / c 2 . These results are the most precise to date.
