Abstract
We present results on the static three- and four-quark potentials in SU(3) and SU(4) respectively within quenched lattice QCD. We use an analytic multi-hit procedure for the time links and a variational approach to determine the ground state. The three- and four-quark potentials extracted are consistent with a sum of two-body potentials, possibly with a weak many-body component. The results give support to the ansatz for the baryonic area law.
