Baryon wave function symmetry
If a baryon wavefunction is $\Psi = \psi_{spatial} \psi_{colour} \psi_{flavour} \psi_{spin}$,
and we consider the ground state (L=0) only.
We know that the whole thing has to be antisymmetric under ...

Second baryon octet
Let's temporarily ignore spin. If 3 denotes the standard representation of SU(3), 1 the trivial rep, 8 the adjoint rep and 10 the symmetric cube then it's well-known that
3 x 3 x 3 = 1 + 8 + 8 + 10
...

Can quark-gluon plasma ever be close to an ideal gas of asymptotically free quarks?
The question inspired by an upcoming colloquim at UCB.
A naive interpretation of quark asymptotic freedom seems to imply that at high enough energies they should be weakly interacting. On the other ...

Strong decays of baryons via quark-antiquark pairs
I have the doubly charmed $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ consisting of ccu quarks.
This is meant to decay via strong force, producing a light baryon (cud/uuc/udc etc...) and a quark-antiquark pair along with a ...

What forms are theoretically predicted for orbitals or quarks in hadrons and of hadrons in tritium?
We all know very illustrative spatial representations of predicted electron orbitals in atoms which are essentially spatial plots of the solutions of wave equations.
In all atoms the electrons occupy ...

What is new with quark-Gluon Plasma and the bubble formed at RHIC?
RHIC experiment results of forming Quark-Gluon Plasma and a possible bubble was news few months ago. I cannot find any follow up news after that. Does anybody know anything new in this front? I am ...

Are quarks the limits? The end of the fundamental science. For collisions on more higher energies will lead to black holes after all?
Are quarks the limit and the Plank scale is believed to be the limit of distance when the very concept of space and length cease to exist (10^-19)
Any attempt to research the existence of shorter ...
