Systematics of Exotic Cascade Decays
Robert Jaffe, Frank Wilczek
Theoretical considerations prompted by discovery of the exotic Theta(uudds*) baryon led us to propose a dynamical picture emphasizing the role of diquark correlations, which are al…
The Dirichlet Casimir Problem
N. Graham, R. L. Jaffe, V. Khemani +3
Casimir forces are conventionally computed by analyzing the effects of boundary conditions on a fluctuating quantum field. Although this analysis provides a clean and calculational…
Diquarks and Exotic Spectroscopy
R. L. Jaffe, F. Wilczek
We propose that the recently discovered Θbaryon is a bound state of four quarks and an antiquark, containing two highly correlated ud-pairs. If so, the Θbaryon has positive parity,…
Scalar Mesons as qbar^2 q^2? Insight from the Lattice
M. Alford, R. L. Jaffe
I describe some insight obtained from a lattice calculation on the possibility that the light scalar mesons are \qbar^2 q^2 states rather than \qbar q. First I review some general…
Quantum Mechanics on Manifolds Embedded in Euclidean Space
P. C. Schuster, R. L. Jaffe
Quantum particles confined to surfaces in higher dimensional spaces are acted upon by forces that exist only as a result of the surface geometry and the quantum mechanical nature o…
