The Observation of Multi-Quark Strange Metastable and Stable States

TL;DR

This paper reports the experimental observation of multi-quark strange metastable and stable states, including resonances and dibaryons, in high-energy collisions involving carbon nuclei, confirming previous predictions.

Contribution

It provides experimental evidence for the existence of strange multi-quark states and dibaryons in high-energy nuclear collisions, advancing understanding of exotic hadronic matter.

Findings

Resonances in $ ext{Lambda} p$, $ ext{Lambda}\pi\pi$, and $ ext{Lambda} p \pi$ observed at 7 and 10 GeV/c.

Candidates for S=-2 light and heavy dibaryons detected at 10 GeV/c.

Confirmation of predicted peaks in $p^{12}C$ collisions.

Abstract

In the metastable state sector the $\Lambda p$, $\Lambda\pi\pi$ and $\Lambda p \pi$ resonances found in n+$^{12}C$- collisions at 7 GeV/c. Preliminary results show that the predicted peaks has been confirmed in $p^{12}C$ collision at 10 GeV/c. In the stable state sector candidates for S=-2 light and heavy dibaryons observed in p+$^{12}C$ collision at 10 GeV/c.
