Meson-Baryon Molecule 5-quark “bag”
– Predict a host of Pc and Pb states corresponding to various meson-baryon thresholds. – Based on meson-meson molecule model for XYZ – Note conspicuous absence of DD and BB states.
– The “repulsive kineJc energy is inversely proporJonal to the reduced mass” (Ericson, Karl).
Dibaryons?

… by only ~100 keV One of the great “fine-tuning”

– Also part of T. Chetry’s PhD. – Interferes with ω-meson photoproducJon. – Clearly shows isospin 1 triplet of dibaryon states.
– N = 2 or 3 (except for nuclei, such as deuterium)
– Tetraquark (XYZ mesons), Pentaquark (Pc states), Dibaryon (ΔΔ and NΔ). – N = 4, 5 and 6.
– Predicted already by Lasce Gauge theory.
– Pentaquarks as a D*Σc and D*Σc* molecule. – Explains the best-fit spin and parity of Pc states.
– Possible rescaaering from χc1 to J/ψ p.
– Compact 5-q structure using diquarks.
– Compact (cu) diquark and color triplet c(ud).
