Elusive multiquark spectroscopy

Year: 2010

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: A review is presented of past and recent attempts to build multiquark states within current models already describing ordinary mesons and baryons. This includes: coherence in the chromomagnetic interaction, tetraquarks with two heavy quarks, Steiner-tree models of conﬁnement, and hadronic molecules, in particular in the hidden-charm sector. Some emphasis is put on the diﬃculties encountered when extrapolating toward higher conﬁgurations the dynamics of conﬁning forces, starting from the simple case of a quark and an antiquark, or three quarks in a colour singlet.
