On bound states of multiple t-quarks due to Higgs exchange

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Froggatt, Nielsen et al suggested that the Higgs boson exchange between top quarks produces enough attraction to generate their multiple bound states. Furthermore they claimed that the system of 6 top and 6 anti-top quarks is bound so strongly that the binding energy nearly compensates the masses of t-quarks, making it very light. We calculated the energy of such states more accurately, variationally and by self-consistent mean field approximation, and found that these state are weakly bound for massless Higgs boson and unbound with the account for its mass.
