Buckyballs of QCD: gluon junction networks
T. Csorgo, M. Gyulassy, D. Kharzeev
Abstract
We propose that femto scale QCD analogs of Fullerene type excitations may exist with ``magic numbers'' 8,24,48, and 120. These ``J-balls'' are the most symmetrical closed networks of gluonic baryon junctions and anti-junctions with zero net baryon number. CP odd J-Moebii and other femto-tubes and tori gluonic structures may also exist. We estimate the relative binding energies and discuss possible experimental signatures of the formation of these new topological gluonic states.
