The last decade has seen a marked shift in how the internal structure of hadrons is understood. Modern experimental facilities, new theoretical techniques for the continuum bound-state problem and progress with lattice-regularised QCD have…
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 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…
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…
Diquark correlations play an important role in hadron physics. The properties of diquarks can be obtained from the corresponding bound state equation. Using a model for the effective quark-quark interaction that has proved successful in the…
In the context of hard hadronic reactions diquarks are a useful phenomenological device to model non-perturbative effects still observable in the kinematic range accessible by present-day experiments. In the following we present…
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…
We perform an investigation of the static quark-quark-potential both in the confined and the deconfined phase. We discuss conceptual and technical problems and present first results of an exploratory numerical investigation.
The possibility of diquark condensation at sufficiently large baryon chemical potential and zero temperature is analyzed in QCD at strong coupling. In agreement with other strong coupling analysis, it is found that a first order phase…
Recent observational data suggests a high compacticity (the quotient M/R) of some "neutron" stars. Motivated by these works we revisit models based on quark-diquark degrees of freedom and address the question of whether that matter is…
We review the physics of doubly-heavy baryons $QQq$ and tetraquarks $QQ\bar q\bar q$. For the latter, the stability is reached for large enough mass ratio $M/m$, even when spin forces and color mixing are neglected. It is thus customarily…
We present arguments regarding diquarks possible role in low-energy hadron phenomenology that escaped theorists' attention so far. Good diquarks, i.e. the $0^{+}$ states of two quarks, are argued to have a two-component structure with one…
We study the evolution of the equation of state of a strongly interacting quark system as a function of the diquark interaction strength. We show that for the system to avoid collapsing into a pressureless Boson gas at sufficiently strong…
This work is devoted to the study of diquark correlations inside the nucleon. We analyze some matrix elements which encode information about the non-perturbative forces, in different color anti-triplet diquark channels. We suggest a lattice…
Hadron structure is considered in the frame of Strongly Correlated Quark Model (SCQM). It is shown that quark correlations result in fluctuations of hadronic matter distributions and single diffractive dissociation processes in hadronic…
(abridged) We construct quark-diquark equations of state using the quark mass density-dependent formalism. A region inside a $2-D$ parameter space in which this matter is absolutely stable is identified. Motivated by the reported…
We study stability and structure of quark matters as a function of density in a framework of molecular dynamics (MD). Using appropriate effective interactions and the frictional cooling method, we search for the minimum energy of the…
The equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter with the inclusion of non-strange dibaryons is studied. We pay special attention to the existence of a dibaryon condensate at zero temperature. These calculations have been performed in an…
The Coulomb screening effect and the finite-size effect such as surface tension are figured out in the hadron-quark deconfinement phase transition. We study the mixed phase of the quark droplets immersed in hadron matter. We see that the…
Based on a recently developed relativistic density functional approach to color-superconducting quark matter and a novel quark-hadron transition construction which phenomenologically accounts for the effects of inhomogeneous pasta phases…
