Multibaryon states in the bag model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

In the MIT bag model we calculate the masses of all colorless N-quark states, for N = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18, with the quarks in s/sub 1/2/ states of the bag. For fixed N these states belong to only one SU(6) irreducible representation. We give SU(6) mass formulas for these states. Several candidates for the lightest N = 6 states are already available. Especially in the ..lambda..N channel the lowest three predicted states seem to show up in the data.
