$H$ dibaryon and its cousins from SU(6)-constrained baryon-baryon interaction
Abstract
We constrain the -wave baryon-baryon interaction using SU(6) symmetry within a nonrelativistic effective field theory. The most general leading-order Lagrangian contains two independent parameters, which we determine using physical and lattice QCD scattering lengths. This framework allows for parameter-free predictions in the strangeness sector relevant to the dibaryon. Solving the coupled-channel scattering problem, we identify two bound states below the threshold, one deeply bound and one shallow, along with resonances near the and thresholds. We demonstrate that these poles result in distinct enhancements in invariant mass distributions, suggesting that the dibaryon exists as a multichannel bound state and providing clear signatures for experimental verification.
