Diquarkyonic matter: Quarks, diquarks, and baryons

In this work, we investigate the color-spin interaction of a quark, a diquark and a baryon with their surrounding baryons and/or quark matter. We extend our previous work by increasing the maximum number of surrounding baryons to five and additionally consider all possible diquark probes that are immersed in such surroundings. This is accomplished by classifying all possible flavor and spin states of the resulting multiquark configuration in both the flavor SU(2) and SU(3) symmetric cases. We also discuss the three-body confinement potential and show that this does not contribute to the outcome. Furthermore, we find that a quark becomes more stable than a baryon when the number of surrounding baryons is three or more. Finally, when we consider the internal color-spin factor of a probe, our results show that the effects of the color-spin interaction of a multiquark configuration is consistent with the so-called diquarkyonic configuration.

Automated summary

In this work, the color-spin interactions of quarks, diquarks, and baryons with surrounding baryons and/or quark matter are investigated. The maximum number of surrounding baryons is increased to five, and all possible diquark probes immersed in such surroundings are considered. The study finds that when the number of surrounding baryons is three or more, a quark becomes more stable than a baryon, and the effects of color-spin interactions of multiquark configurations are consistent with the diquarkyonic configuration.
