Abstract

We explore the possibility of very heavy dibaryons with three charm quarks and three beauty quarks, bbbccc, using a constituent model which should lead to the correct solution in the limit of hadrons made of heavy quarks. The six-body problem is treated rigorously, in particular taking into account the orbital, color, and spin mixed-symmetry components of the wave function. Unlike a recent claim based on lattice QCD, no bound state is found below the lowest dissociation threshold.

Summary

Very Heavy Flavored Dibaryons

We explore the possibility of very heavy dibaryons with three charm quarks and three beauty quarks, bbbccc, using a constituent model which should lead to the correct solution in the limit of hadrons made of heavy quarks. When a full quark model calculation is performed the stability does not survive the breaking of flavor SU(3) [13,14], nor the unavoidable dilution of the structure that weakens the strength of the chromomagnetic terms [15,16] Another possibility is the combination of two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks, QQqq ̄. It is important to note that for these systems the lowest two-baryon threshold is always made of two spin 3=2 baryons with quark content ðQQQÞðqqqÞ The existence of such deep bound states in the heavy quark sector should be captured in any model having the right QCD properties in the heavy quark sector. The interaction has two terms only, i.e., spin-orbit and tensor
