On the History of Dibaryons and their Final Observation

TL;DR

This paper reviews the historical search for dibaryons, highlighting the recent establishment of the first dibaryon resonance as a potential compact six-quark state.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of dibaryon research history and reports the first confirmed dibaryon resonance.

Findings

First dibaryon resonance established

Dibaryons as potential six-quark objects

Historical overview of dibaryon searches

Abstract

A review is given about the long-standing search for dibaryons, i.e. six-quark objects, from the early days until present, when the first dibaryon resonance has been established, which has the potential of constituting a compact six-quark object.
