Analyzing QCD Sum Rules for Heavy Baryons at Next-to-Leading Order in \alpha_S

In this talk I consider QCD sum rules for the ground state heavy baryons to leading order in $1\mathrm{/}{m}_Q$ and at next-to-leading order in ${\alpha }_S$ within the context of Heavy Quark Symmetry. The analysis is done at a fixed scale $\mu=1 GeV$. The evolution behaviour of the residues is determined by the two-loop anomalous dimension of the heavy baryon currents calculated earlier. I compare the diagonal, non-diagonal and constituent type QCD sum rules and show that the diagonal sum rules are the most reliable one. As central values for the bound state energies I find $m({\mathrm{\Lambda }}_Q)-m_Q=760MeV$ and $m({\mathrm{\Sigma }}_Q)-m_Q=940MeV$. The central values for the residues are given by $F({\mathrm{\Lambda }}_Q)=0.030Ge{V}^3$ and $F({\mathrm{\Sigma }}_Q)=0.038Ge{V}^3$.
