Abstract

We used a diffusion Monte Carlo technique to describe the properties of fully-heavy compact arrangements (no dibaryon molecules) including six quarks and no antiquarks within the framewok of a constituent quark model. Only arrangements whose wavefunctions were eigenvectors of L2L^2 with eigenvalue \ell = 0 were taken into account, what means that we only considered the subset of all the possible color-spin combinations that make the total wavefunctions antisymmetric with respect to the interchange of any two quarks of the same type. This means arrangements with spin S=0S=0 for cccccccccccc, bbbbbbbbbbbb, cccccbcccccb, bbbbbcbbbbbc and cccbbbcccbbb and spin S=0,1,2S=0,1,2 for the ccccbbccccbb and bbbbccbbbbcc hexaquarks. In all cases, the masses of the six-quark arrangements are larger that the ones corresponding to the sum of any of the two baryons we can split them into, but smaller that the ones for a set of six isolated quarks, i.e., all them are bound systems. The analysis of their structure indicates that all the hexaquarks considered in this work are compact objects, except the cccbbbcccbbb, that appears to be a loose association of two baryons.
