Broad resonances as locking states and the problem of confinement

Abstract

We discuss the mechanism of broad state formation when one of several overlapping resonances accumulates the widths of others. This mechanism may be important in the mixing of quark states with exotic ones. The broad resonance acts as a locking state for other states which mix with it; we consider the role of the broad state in the formation of the confinement barrier.
