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…
In this lecture at a school for condensed matter physicists, I begin with basic concepts and tools for investigating phase transitions in quantum field theory. The very different roles of global and gauge symmetries in phase transitions…
According to QCD, there exists a broken dynamical supersymmetry between an antiquark and a diquark. This supersymmetry can be used to relate the mass of a pentaquark to the mass of an antibaryon by replacing two antiquarks in an antibaryon…
We give a review of the calculations of the masses of tetraquarks with two and four heavy quarks in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach and QCD. The diquark-antidiquark picture of heavy…
We investigate the phase structure of hot and/or dense QCD with massless 2-flavors using the Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) with the improved ladder approximation in the Landau gauge. We examine the effect of the antiquark contribution and…
We review recent work on the phase structure of QCD at very high baryon density. We introduce the phenomenon of color superconductivity and discuss how the quark masses and chemical potentials determine the structure of the superfluid quark…
In this work, we calculate the magnetic moments of the $P^{N^{0}}_{\psi}$ states and $P^{\Delta^{0}}_{\psi}$ states with valence quark content $\bar{c}cudd $ in molecular model, diquark-diquark-antiquark model and diquark-triquark model, as…
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…
A symmetry-preserving Dyson-Schwinger equation treatment of a vector-vector contact interaction is used to compute dressed-quark-core contributions to the nucleon $\sigma$-term and tensor charges. The latter enable one to directly determine…
Diquark-antidiquark states are expected to exist as a natural complement of mesons and baryons. Although they were predicted long ago, and some candidates were found experimentally, none has, as yet, been reliably identified. We suggest…
In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the scalar and axial-vector heavy diquark states with the QCD sum rules in a systematic way. Once the reasonable values are obtained, we can take them as basic parameters and study the new…
I use simple thermodynamic reasoning to argue that at temperatures of order a trillion kelvin, QCD, the theory which describes strongly interacting particles such as protons and neutrons under normal conditions, undergoes a phase transition…
Explosive astrophysical systems, such as supernovae or compact star binary mergers, provide conditions where strange quark matter can appear. The high degree of isospin asymmetry and temperatures of several MeV in such systems may cause a…
The two heavy quarks in a baryon which contains two heavy quarks and a light one, can constitute a scalar or axial vector diquark. We study electromagnetic radiations of such baryons, (i) \Xi_{(bc)_1} -> \Xi_{(bc)_0}+\gamma, (ii)…
Masses of the ground-state teraquarks composed from heavy $c$ and $b$ quarks and antiquarks are calculated in the diquark-antidiquark picture in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The…
We investigate the implications of a tetraquark field on chiral symmetry restoration at nonzero temperature. In order for the chiral phase transition to be cross-over, as shown by lattice QCD studies, a strong mixing between scalar…
We use a symmetry-preserving truncation of meson and baryon bound-state equations in quantum field theory in order to develop a unified description of systems constituted from light- and heavy-quarks. In particular, we compute the spectrum…
Diffractive reactions involving a hard scale can be understood in terms of quarks and gluons. These reactions have become a valuable tool for investigating the low-x structure of the proton and the behavior of QCD in the high-density…
In this talk, after a short overview of the history of the discovery of tetra-quarks and penta-quarks, we will discuss a possible interpretation of such states in the framework of a 40-years-old "string junction" picture that allows a…
We derive covariant equations describing the tetraquark in terms of an admixture of two-body states $D\bar D$ (diquark-antidiquark), $MM$ (meson-meson), and three-body-like states $q\bar q (T_{q\bar q})$, $q q (T_{\bar q\bar q})$, and $\bar…
