abstract

In connection with recent discoveries of heavy-quark containing exotic states publications discussing $Qq$ diquarks ($Q,q$ stand for a heavy and light quarks, respectively) proliferated in the literature. After a brief summary of the diquark concept I review various general reasons why the $Qq$ diquark (with sufficinetly heavy $Q$) does not exist. Then I argue (this is the focus of my talk) that the most direct way to confirm non-existence of the $Qq$ diquarks is the study of pre-asymptotic corrections in the inclusive decays of $Qqq$ baryons, e.g. $\Lambda_b$. Since the $c$ quarks are much lighter than $b$, namely, $m_b^2/m_c^2\sim 11$, traces of the $cq$ attraction in the color anti-triplet spin-0 state may or may not be present in the $cqq$ baryons.

    Spacelike electromagnetic form factors of Σc and Λc are computed in a covariant quark-diquark model, finding compact charge distributions and a charm-quark-dominated magnetic form factor for Λc.

  2. Revisit the diquark of $\Lambda_c$ in the $\Lambda_c\to \Lambda K^+$ and $\Lambda_c\to \Sigma^0 K^+$ processes

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Constituent quark model fits to Λc→ΛK+ and Λc→Σ0K+ branching ratios place the charmed baryon's diquark size parameters in a narrow, non-compact region.
