Influence of tensor interactions on masses and decay widths of dibaryons

Abstract

The influence of gluon and Goldstone boson induced tensor interactions on the dibaryon masses and D-wave decay widths has been studied in the quark delocalization, color screening model. The effective S-D wave transition interactions induced by gluon and Goldstone boson exchanges decrease rapidly with increasing strangeness of the channel. The tensor contribution of K and $\eta$ mesons is negligible in this model. There is no six-quark state in the light flavor world studied so far that can become bound by means of these tensor interactions besides the deuteron. The partial D-wave decay widths of the $IJ^p={1/2}2^+$ N$\Omega$ state to spin 0 and 1 $\Lambda\Xi$ final states are 12.0 keV and 21.9 keV respectively. This is a very narrow dibaryon resonance that might be detectable in relativistic heavy ion reactions by existing RHIC detectors through the reconstruction of the vertex mass of the decay product $\Lambda\Xi$ and by the COMPAS detector at CERN or at JHF in Japan and the FAIR project in Germany in the future.
