PT Journal AU Richard, JM Valcarce, A Vijande, J TI Few-body quark dynamics for doubly heavy baryons and tetraquarks SO Physical Review C JI Phys. Rev. C PY 2018 BP 035211 EP 10pp VL 97 IS 3 DI 10.1103/PhysRevC.97.035211 LA English AB We discuss the adequate treatment of the three- and four-body dynamics for the quark model picture of double-charm baryons and tetraquarks. We stress that the variational and Born-Oppenheimer approximations give energies very close to the exact ones, while the diquark approximation might be somewhat misleading. The Hall-Post inequalities also provide very useful lower bounds that exclude the possibility of stable tetraquarks for some mass ratios and some color wave functions. ER
