Tetraquarks are studied with an approximation which reduces the in- ternal degrees of freedom of the system, using both finite differences and scattering theory. The existence of bound states and resonances is inspected and the masses and…
Following recent work in which events which may correspond to a bound tetraneutron ($^4$n) were observed, it is pointed out that from the theoretical perspective the two-body nucleon-nucleon force cannot by itself bind four neutrons, even…
Recently, a resonant state of four neutrons (tetraneutron) with an energy of $E_{4n}=2.37\pm 0.38 \rm{(stat)} \pm 0.44 \rm{(sys)}$ MeV and a width of $\Gamma=1.75\pm 0.22 \rm{(stat)} \pm 0.30 \rm{(sys)}$ MeV was reported. In this work, we…

A nuclear model is proposed where the nucleons interact by emitting and absorbing mesons, and where the mesons are treated explicitly. A nucleus in this model finds itself in a quantum superposition of states with different number of…
