Chromoelectric binding: unequal masses<br />

Can ano<strong>the</strong>r asymmetry overcome this problem?<br />

Yes! Remember (M + , M + , m − , m − ) becomes more stable as<br />

M/m departs from 1<br />

The same mechanism makes (QQ¯q¯q) evolving from unbound <strong>to</strong><br />

stable<br />

See Ader et al. (1982), Heller & Tjon, Brink & Stancu, Rosina &<br />

Janc, Barnea, Vijande & Valcarce, etc.<br />

The problem is <strong>the</strong> critical value of M/m required,<br />

(cc¯q¯q) bound or do we need (bb¯q¯q)<br />

Two b or not two b, that is <strong>the</strong> question!<br />

<strong>An</strong>d what about a better potential<br />
