PT Journal AU Vijande, J Valcarce, A Richard, JM TI Adiabaticity and color mixing in tetraquark spectroscopy SO Physical Review D JI Phys. Rev. D PY 2013 BP 034040 EP 5pp VL 87 IS 3 DI 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.034040 LA English AB We revisit the role of color mixing in the quark model calculation of tetraquark states, and compare simple pairwise potentials to more elaborate string models with three-and four-body forces. We attempt to disentangle the improved dynamics of confinement from the approximations made in the treatment of the internal color degrees of freedom. ER
