Asymptotic mass limit of large fully-heavy compact multiquarks

Abstract

The properties of fully-heavy arrangements including a number of quarks between 5 and 12 were calculated within the framework of a constituent quark model by using a diffusion Monte Carlo technique. We considered only clusters in which all the quarks had the same mass, and whose number of particles and antiparticles were adequate to produce color singlets. All the multiquarks were in their lowest possible values of $L^2$ and $S^2$ operators. This means that we considered only color-spin wavefunctions that were antisymmetric with respect to the interchange of {\em any} two quarks of the same type. We found that in both all-$c$ and all-$b$ multiquarks, the mass per particle levels off for arrangements with a number of quarks larger of equal than six. The analysis of their structure implies that the fully-heavy multiquarks are compact structures.
