Interactions between quark clusters in lattice QCD

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
Multiquark systems up to six static charges are studied within the framework of SU(3) gauge theory on a lattice with dimension 16 x 16 x 16 x 6 and hot boundary conditions. Correlations between the quarks of a hadron are computed as well as hadron-hadron correlations. We find a confining potential acting between color-nonsinglet--color-nonsinglet systems, whereas the gluon exchange can mediate no force if one of the interacting clusters is a color singlet and pointlike.
