The general character of 4-quark (mesonic) and strange 6-quark (baryonic) quark systems is very briefly reviewed a la Jaffe, i.e. in the MIT bag, and so far still possibly viable candidates are indicated. Concentration is on S=-2 systems.…
During the last three years strong experimental evidence from $B$ and charm factories has been accumulating for the existence of exotic hadronic quarkonia, narrow resonances which cannot be made from a quark and an antiquark. Their masses…
A diquark model previously formulated to describe exotic mesons is extended to dibaryons. In the model, dibaryons containing only light quarks are unbound. The $H$ dibaryon, consisting of $uuddss$ quarks, is unstable by about 90 MeV or…
It is shown that an instanton induced interaction between quarks produces a very deeply bound H-dibaryon with mass below 2M_N, M_H=1718 MeV. Therefore the H-dibaryon is predicted to be a stable particle. The reaction of photodisintegration…
The equation of state for dense nuclear matter in $\beta$-equilibrium is explored including the possibility of a doubly-strange H-particle. Consistent with experimental constraints, the mass of the H in free space is taken to be near the…
The formation of dibaryons with strangeness are discussed for the interior of neutron stars and for central relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We derive limits for the properties of H-dibaryons from pulsar data. Signals for the formation of…
The structure of $K^-$-condensed hypernuclei, which may be produced in the laboratory in strangeness-conserving processes, is investigated using an effective chiral Lagrangian for the kaon-baryon interaction, combined with a nonrelativistic…
The kaon, the lightest hadron containing a strangeness quark, is very peculiar. It is a Nambu-Goldstone boson, but significantly heavier than the pion. As a result, its interaction with a matter particle, such as the nucleon or a…
Possible $H$-like dibaryon states $\Lambda_{c}\Lambda_{c}$ and $\Lambda_{b}\Lambda_{b}$ are investigated within the framework of quark delocalization color screening model. The results show that the interaction between two $\Lambda_{c}$'s…
Dibaryons provide insight into the strong interaction beyond conventional hadrons. Strange dibaryons, containing strange quarks, are especially valuable for probing hyperon-nucleon (YN) and hyperon-hyperon (YY) interactions. We report…
The H-dibaryon is the exotic multiquark state with baryon number 2 and strangeness $-2$. The existence of the deeply bound H-dibaryon is excluded by the observation of the double hypernuclei. However the recent Lattice QCD simulations have…
The possible existence of an H-dibaryon near the $\Lambda-\Lambda$ threshold has still not been decided experimentally. This raises the question of the potential effects on neutron stars if it does exist. We explore the consequences within…
The existence of full heavy dibaryons $\Omega_{ccc}\Omega_{bbb}$, $\Omega_{ccc}\Omega_{ccc}$ and $\Omega_{bbb}\Omega_{bbb}$ with $J=0,~1,~2,~3$ and $P=\pm1$ are investigated in the framework of a constituent quark model. The dibaryon…
The production of baryons containing two charmed quarks Xi_cc in hadronic interactions at high energies and large transverse momenta is considered. It is supposed, that Xi_cc-baryon is formed during a non-perturbative fragmentation of the…
We show that it is necessary to go beyond a single hadron (beyond the quark-antiquark or three-quark systems) in order to distinguish the colour structure of the effective quark-quark interaction and the relevance of 3-body forces. We…
We present results of a search for a neutral, six-quark, dibaryon state called the \h, a state predicted to exist in several theoretical models. Observation of such a state would signal the discovery of a new form of hadronic matter.…
We present a phenomenological ansatz for coupling a heavy quark with two light quarks to form a heavy baryon. The heavy quark is treated in the heavy mass limit, and the light quark dynamics is approximated by propagating scalar and axial…
I review hadronic processes involving strange hadrons, especially hyperons from the quark structure point of view. The strong interaction of quarks expects several important new features when the strangeness is introduced upon the…
The quark cluster model studies concerning the H-dibaryon are reviewed. The covered topics are the H-dibaryon itself, the interaction between a nucleon and an H-dibaryon, and the one between two H-dibaryons. A related study on the…
Via the study of strange particle production within the STAR experiment, we try to address the surprising amount of baryon transport at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We report here preliminary results showing that, at…
