According to the classification of the quark model, the hadrons going beyond three-quark
baryon and quark-antiquark meson pictures are called exotic hadrons. Many new hadrons …

We review how lattice QCD can contribute to the prediction and the comprehension of
tetraquarks, pentaquarks and related exotic hadrons such as hybrids, with at least one …

This book provides a broad introduction to gauge field theories formulated on a space-time
lattice, and in particular of QCD. It serves as a textbook for advanced graduate students, and …

The static three-quark (3Q) potential is studied in detail using SU (3) lattice QCD with 12 3×
24 at β= 5.7 and 16 3× 32 at β= 5.8, 6.0 at the quenched level. For more than 300 different …

A new color basis system and confinement mechanism for multiquark systems are proposed
according to the string-type picture of QCD. The color string configurations in the strong …

Hot QCD physics studies the nuclear strong force under extreme temperature and densities.
Experimentally these conditions are achieved via high-energy collisions of heavy ions at the …

We measure the static three-quark potential in SU (3) lattice gauge theory with improved
accuracy, by using all available technical refinements, including Luscher-Weisz exponential …

We make a systematical diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculation for all ground state
baryons in two confinement scenarios, the pairwise confinement and the three-body flux …

The design and implementation of large sets of spatially extended, gauge-invariant
operators for use in determining the spectrum of baryons in lattice QCD computations are …

A simple string model inspired by the strong-coupling regime of quantum chromodynamics
is used as a potential for studying the spectrum of multiquark systems with two quarks and …
