Exotic Heavy Baryons at LHC?

Abstract

We speculate about a heavy bottom-charm six-quark baryon. A semiclassical and a gaussian estimate reveal that the octet-octet bbb-ccc configuration can be energetically favored with respect to the singlet-singlet one. This result suggests that a confined bbb-ccc six-quark state may exist. Such objects may be produced in appreciable amount in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies.
