Diquark model of dibaryons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A diquark model previously formulated to describe exotic mesons is extended to dibaryons. In the model, dibaryons containing only light quarks are unbound. The HH dibaryon, consisting of uuddssuuddss quarks, is unstable by about 90 MeV or more, and should decay strongly into two Λ\Lambda baryons. A charmed dibaryon HcH_c, composed of uuddscuuddsc, is unstable by about 60 MeV or more and should decay strongly into Λ+Λc\Lambda + \Lambda_c. On the other hand, we find that a bottom dibaryon HbH_b, made of uuddsbuuddsb, may be just bound by about 10 MeV with respect to Λ+Λb\Lambda + \Lambda_b. If so, it should decay weakly into various final states with a charmed hadron. A possible two-body decay would be into Λ+Λc\Lambda + \Lambda_c.
