Abstract

The baryon-antibaryon spectrum consisting of strange, charm and bottom quarks is studied in the color flux-tube model with a multi-body confinement interaction. Numerical results indicate that many low-spin baryon-antibaryon states can form compact hexaquark states and are stable against the decay into a baryon and an antibaryon. The multi-body confinement interaction as a binding mechanism plays an important role in the formation of the states. They can be searched in the e+ee^+e^- annihilation and charmonium or bottomonium decay if they really exist. The newly reported states, X(1835), X(2370), Y(2175), Y(4360) and Y_b(10890), may be interpreted as NNˉN\bar{N}, ΔΔˉ\Delta\bar{\Delta}, ΛΛˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}, ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c and ΛbΛˉb\Lambda_b\bar{\Lambda}_b states, respectively.
