Search for possible 6‐q states via inclusive reactions

Abstract

A satisfactory understanding of the 6‐q system is necessary for a complete understanding of the short‐range part of the NN interaction. Bag models and quark potential models predict 6‐q states in the 2‐3 GeV mass range. NNπ and NNππ are examples of 6‐q states involving the same quark flavors as the NN system, search for which could be undertaken through inclusive spin‐dependent measurements.
