We study one-photon transitions between heavy baryon states in the framewor
k of a relativistic three-quark model. We calculate the one-photon transiti
on rates for ground-state to ground-state transitions and for some specific
excited state to ground-state transitions. Our rate predictions for the mo
st important transitions are: Gamma(Sigma(c)(+) --> Lambda(+)(c)gamma)= 60.
7 +/- 1.5 keV, Gamma(Xi'(+)(c) --> Xi(c)(+)gamma) = 12.7 +/- 1.5 keV, Gamma
(Lambda(cl)(2593) --> Lambda(c)(+)gamma) = 104.3 +/- 1.3 keV. (C) 1999 Publ
