Chromoelectric binding: equal masses<br />

Both Ps2 and (qq¯q¯q), and <strong>the</strong>ir thresholds are governed by<br />

H4 = <br />

+ gij v(rij) , <br />

gij = 2 ,<br />

For this family of Hamil<strong>to</strong>nians, <strong>the</strong> highest ground state obtained<br />

for gij = ¯g = 2/15.<br />

Then, <strong>the</strong> more one departs from this symmetric case, <strong>the</strong> lower<br />

<strong>the</strong> binding<br />

Can be measured by <strong>the</strong> variance of <strong>the</strong> {gij} set of coefficients<br />
