Baryonium with a phenomenological skyrmion-type potential

In this paper, we investigate the nucleon-antinucleon static energies in the Skyrme model with the product {\it Anzatz}. The calculation shows that in the ungroomed $S\bar S$ (skyrmion and antiskyrmion) channel, which leads to rapid annihilation, there exists a quasi-stable bound state which may give a natural explanation for the near-threshold enhancement in the proton-antiproton $(p\bar{p})$ mass spectrum reported by the BES Collaboration and the Belle Collaboration. Similar to the phenomenological well potential of the deuteron, we construct a phenomenological skyrmion-type potential to study this narrow $p\bar{p}$-resonance in $J/\psi\to \gamma p\bar{p}$. By this potential model, a $p\bar{p}$ baryonium with small binding energies is suggested and the decay width of this state is calculated by WKB approximation. In this picture the decay is attributed to quantum tunnelling and $p\bar{p}$ annihilation. Prediction on the decay mode from the baryonium annihilation at rest is also pointed out.
