in the Diabatic Diquark Model: Effects of Isospin

Richard F. Lebed, Steven R. Martinez

is an isoscalar 4-quark state with mass lying barely below the threshold, and several times further below the threshold. It allows both di-meso…

Diabatic Dynamical Diquark Bound States: Mass Corrections and Widths

Richard F. Lebed, Steven R. Martinez

Using the diabatic formalism, which generalizes the adiabatic approximation in the Born-Oppenheimer formalism, we apply well-known Hamiltonian methods to calculate the effect of op…

Theory of the (Heavy-Quark) Exotic Hadrons: A Primer for the Flavor Community

Richard F. Lebed

Scores of exotic hadrons, particularly tetraquarks and pentaquarks in the heavy-quark sector, have been observed in the past 20 years, and more continue to be discovered to this da…

Exotic Hadrons from Scattering in the Diabatic Dynamical Diquark Model

Richard F. Lebed, Steven R. Martinez

The diabatic framework generalizes the adiabatic approximation built into the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) formalism, and is devised to rigorously incorporate the mixing of BO-approximati…

The case for an EIC Theory Alliance: Theoretical Challenges of the EIC

Raktim Abir, Igor Akushevich, Tolga Altinoluk +167

We outline the physics opportunities provided by the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). These include the study of the parton structure of the nucleon and nuclei, the onset of gluon satu…
