The neutral, flavor singlet scalar uuddss bound state -- the sexaquark, S -- may have a low enough mass to be stable or extremely long-lived. Here we review mass estimates and production expectations and show that laboratory experiments to…
Recent investigations have suggested that the singlet six-quark combination $uuddss$ may be a deeply bound state $S$, called Sexaquark. An essentially stable state $S$ is a potentially excellent Dark Matter candidate. We present the first…
We report on the possibility that the Dark Matter particle is a stable, neutral, as-yet-undiscovered hadron in the standard model. The existence of a compact color-flavor-spin singlet sexaquark (S, uuddss) with mass ~2m_p, is compatible…
It is conventionally argued that Dark Matter (DM) has a non-baryonic nature, but if we assume that DM was frozen out before primordial nucleosynthesis and could not significantly impact primordial abundances this argument may be evaded.…
Recent investigations have suggested that the six-quark combination uuddss could be a deeply bound state (S) that has eluded detection so far, and a potential dark matter candidate. We report the first search for a stable, doubly strange…
The mass and coupling of the scalar tetraquark $T_{bb;\overline{u}\overline{d }}^{-}$ (hereafter $T_{b:\overline{d}}^{-} $) are calculated in the context of the QCD two-point sum rule method. In computations we take into account effects of…
Following the idea that a stable sexaquark state with quark content (uuddss) would have gone unnoticed by experiment so far and that such a particle would be a good dark matter candidate, we investigate the possible role of a stable…
A color-flavor-spin singlet state of six quarks $uuddss$ ($S$, or sexaquark) has been argued to be a potentially undiscovered deeply bound, long-lived hadron. Theoretical calculations of the $S$ mass have been made in the literature, widely…
If the Theta^+(1540) is interpreted as a bound state of a $\bar s$ quark and two (ud) diquarks in a relative P-wave, then it is very likely that there exist pentaquark states with a heavy antiquark, $\bar b$ or $\bar c$, and two ``light''…
Based on the color-spin interaction in diquarks, we argue why some multiquark configurations could be stable against strong decay when heavy quarks are included. After showing the stability of previously discussed states we identify new…
It has recently been proposed that the relatively inert, highly symmetric, neutral flavor singlet scalar hadron made of uuddss quarks may have a mass < 2 (m_p + m_e). This is consistent with QCD theory, and with existing accelerator and…
If dark matter (DM) contains equal numbers of u,d,s quarks, the ratio of DM and ordinary matter densities is shown to follow from the Boltzmann distribution in the Quark Gluon Plasma. For sexaquark DM in the 1860-1880 MeV mass range…
Macroscopic nuggets of quark matter were proposed several decades ago as a candidate for dark matter. The formation of these objects in the early universe requires the QCD phase transition to be first order - a requirement that is not…
We study the masses and lifetimes of doubly charmed pentaquark $P_{cc\bar qqq}(q=u,d,s)$ primarily. The operation of masses carried out by the doubly heavy triquark-diquark model, whose results suggests the existence of stable states…
Stable neutrino and U quark of 4th generation are excluded neither by experimental data, nor by astrophysical constraints. Moreover, excess of stable $\bar U$ quarks in the Universe can lead to an exciting composite nuclear-interacting form…
In the light of the recent discovery of the $\Xi^{++}_{cc}$ by LHCb collaboration, we study the stable doubly heavy tetraquarks. These states are compact exotic hadrons which can be approximated as the diquark-anti-diquark correlations. In…
We present preliminary results for the mass of the 6q flavor-singlet state ($J^P=0^+$, $S=-2$) called H-dibaryon, calculated in quenched QCD on $16^3$x30 and $24^3$x30 lattices with improved gauge and fermion actions (Symanzik improvement,…
For very heavy quarks, relations derived from heavy-quark symmetry imply novel narrow doubly heavy tetraquark states containing two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks. We predict that double-beauty states will be stable against strong…
We investigate the hypothesis that sexaquarks, hypothetical stable six-quark states, could be a significant component of the dark matter. We expand on previous studies of sexaquark cosmology, accounting for the possibility that some…
The structure of a spherically symmetric stable dark 'star' is discussed, at zero temperature, containing 1) a core of quarks in the deconfined phase and antileptons 2) a shell of hadrons in particular $n$, $p$, $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma^-$ and…
