Charmlets

Abstract

We discuss the possibility, that multiply charmed exotics are produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Production probabilities at RHIC are estimated and found to be large enough to allow for the possible detection of single and double charmed exotics. We demonstrate that charm matter is bound due to an attractive one-gluon exchange potential. Furthermore, we study the color magnetic and color electric potential separately, as well as the group structure of such exotics and estimate their masses.
