Abstract

Energies of four-quark systems have been extracted in a quenched SU(2) lattice Monte Carlo calculation for two different geometries, rectangular and colinear, with β=2.4 and lattice size 163× 32. Also, by going to a lattice 243× 32 and to β=2.5, the effect of the finite lattice size and scaling are checked. An attempt is made to understand these results in terms of a model based on interquark two-body potentials but modified very significantly by a phenomenological gluon-field overlap factor.
