Title: Future opportunities for hadron spectroscopy at the MPS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6314688

Before I go into detailed MPS experiments, I will give a summary of the status of lattice gauge calculations of glueball masses plus glueball and hybrid masses from the bag model, and the flux tube model. For the following discussion, I am going to assume that multi-quark states or molecules are best described in terms of the MIT bag model of Jaffe with its spectrum best defined by work done by R.L. Jaffe and F.E. Low using a method called The P-Matrix. Using this method one sees that all 4-quark states will appear as very broad continuum like effects that one would not associate with meson resonances, except for the S* and the delta which forms a very special threshold K/bar K/ bound systems. There is a possibility that the E(1420) may also be related to the J/sup PC/ = 1/sup + +/, qq/bar q//bar q/ spectrum having its width narrowed by a final state interaction.
