Abstract

We report the first lattice QCD study of the heavy dibaryons in which all six quarks have the bottom (beauty) flavor. Performing a state-of-the-art lattice QCD calculation we find clear evidence for a deeply bound Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb}-Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb} dibaryon in the 1S0^1S_0 channel, as a pole singularity in the SS-wave Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb}-Ωbbb\Omega_{bbb} scattering amplitude with a binding energy 81(16+14)-81(_{-16}^{+14}) MeV. With such a deep binding, Coulomb repulsion serves only as a perturbation on the ground state wave function of the parameterized strong potential and may shift the strong binding only by a few percent. Considering the scalar channel to be the most bound for single flavored dibaryons, we conclude this state is the heaviest possible most deeply bound dibaryon in the visible universe.
