Quantum Chromodynamics is thought to be the relativistic quantum field theory that describes the strong interaction of the Standard Model. This interaction produces mesons but it is also able to generate quark-quark (diquark) correlations…
We briefly review a variety of theoretical and phenomenological indications for the probable importance of powerful diquark correlations in hadronic physics. We demonstrate that the bulk of light hadron spectroscopy can be organized using…
Diquarks are often invoked as QCD effective degrees of freedom to describe baryons as well as certain exotic hadrons in phenomenology. However, even though they are successful in describing many of these low lying QCD states, they and their…
A menage a trois is very different from an ordinary family. Similarly, exotic hadrons with both qq and qbar q pairs have important color-space correlations that are completely absent in ordinary mesons and baryons. The presence of both…
We describe aspects of the role that diquark correlations play in understanding baryon structure and interactions. The significance of diquarks in that application motivates a study of the possibility that dense hadronic matter may exhibit…
Diquark correlations are important in baryons, which can be modeled as quark-diquark bound states. In addition, diquarks could play a role in non-standard hadrons such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks. Here, we obtain properties of these…
We briefly describe our relativistic quark-diquark model, developed within the framework of point form dynamics, which is the relativistic extension of the interacting quark-diquark model. In order to do that we have to show the main…
QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks. We study whether it may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. A simple model is presented in which the lowest…
A review of the underlying ideas of the Interacting Quark Diquark Model (IQDM) that asses the baryon spectroscopy in terms of quark diquark degrees of freedom is given, together with a discussion of the missing resonances problem. Some…
Quark model with potentials derived from QCD, including the quark-diquark model for excited hadrons gives mass formulae in very good agreement with experiment and goes a long way in explaining the approximate symmetries and supersymmetries…
Masses of the ground, orbitally and radially excited states of the asymmetric fully heavy tetraquarks, composed of charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks and antiquarks are calculated in the relativistic diquark-antidiquark picture. The…
Recent discoveries of manifestly exotic, narrow baryon resonances present a fundamental challenge for our theoretical understanding of low-energy QCD. This is a brief survey of their interpretation, emphasizing the possibility that diquark…
We study diquarks on the lattice in the background of a static quark, in a gauge-invariant formalism with quark masses down to almost physical $m_\pi$. We determine mass differences between diquark channels as well as diquark-quark mass…
The present status of the diquark model for exclusive reactions at moderately large momentum transfer is reviewed. That model is a variant of the Brodsky-Lepage approach in which diquarks are considered as quasi-elementary constituents of…
We discuss the emergence of a low-energy effective theory with quarks, mesons, diquarks and baryons at vanishing and finite baryon density from first principle QCD. The present work also includes an overview on diquarks at vanishing and…
We present new linear relations among the masses of S-wave tetraquarks with either one flavour ($QQ \bar Q \bar Q$) or two ($QQ\bar q \bar q$). Because the relations are sensitive to the hidden-colour, spin, and spatial degrees of freedom,…
We study the baryonic fluctuations from second to eighth order involving electric charge, baryon number and strangeness below the quark-gluon plasma crossover and numerically known from lattice QCD calculations. By considering a particular…
Diquarks may play an important role in hadron spectroscopy, baryon decays and color superconductivity. We investigate the existence of diquark correlations in lattice QCD by considering systematically all the lowest energy diquark channels…
QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks which may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. We suggest a simple model in which the lowest scalar diquark (and…
A perturbative QCD calculation of heavy flavor quark fragmentation into heavy flavor baryons is developed along the lines of corresponding heavy meson models. The non-perturbative formation of the baryon is accomplished by implementing the…
