Baryonium physics

Various theoretical ideas on nuclear physics, quark models, and the dual topological unitarization lead to the expectation of massive mesons, called baryonium, coupled strongly to the ppmacr channel but weakly to mesons, thus resulting in a virtually high stability, particularly below the ppmacr threshold. Such states are relevant to nuclear physics owing to the fact that the badly explored short-range forces in the NN interactions are just the most relevant ones in the NNmacr systems. From the known NN potential, one is led to expect short-range attraction in NNmacr systems, and this should result in quasinuclear bound states in the vicinity of threshold.
