Exploiting the existence of strong two-body correlations in the gluon-quark, q(g) = [gq], and gluon-antiquark, (q) over bar (g) = [g (q) over bar] channels, we argue that a sound description of hybrids can be obtained by solving a coupled pair of effectively two-body equations; and, consequently, that hybrids may be viewed as highly correlated q(g)(q) over bar <-> q (q) over bar (g) bound states. Analogies may be drawn between this picture of hybrid structure and that of baryons, in which diquark (quark+quark) correlations play a key role. The potential of this formulation is illustrated by calculating the spectrum of light-quark isovector hybrid mesons.", optnote="WOS:000476540800001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4088), last updated on Mon, 19 Aug 2019 07:02:09 +0000", issn="1434-6001", doi="10.1140/epja/i2019-12805-4", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.06430", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epja/i2019-12805-4", language="English" }
