Weakly Bound Dibaryon from SU(3)-Flavor-Symmetric QCD

JR Green, AD Hanlon, PM Junnarkar, H Wittig - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We present the first study of baryon-baryon interactions in the continuum limit of lattice QCD,
finding unexpectedly large lattice artifacts. Specifically, we determine the binding energy of …

Antinuclei in heavy-ion collisions

J Chen, D Keane, YG Ma, A Tang, Z Xu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review progress in the study of antinuclei, starting from Dirac's equation and the
discovery of the positron in cosmic-ray events. The development of proton accelerators led …
