Models of multiquark states

Harry J. Lipkin · AIP conference proceedings · 1986

The success of simple constituent quark models in single‐hadron physics and their failure in multiquark physics is discussed, emphasizing the relation between meson and baryon spectra, hidden color and the color matrix, breakup decay modes, coupled channels, and hadron‐hadron interactions via flipping and tunneling of flux tubes. Model‐independent predictions for possible multiquark bound states are considered and the most promising candidates suggested. A quark approach to baryon‐baryon interactions is discussed.
