Most Strange Dibaryon from Lattice QCD


Abstract in English

The $OmegaOmega$ system in the $^1S_0$ channel (the most strange dibaryon) is studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with a large volume (8.1 fm)$^3$ and nearly physical pion mass $m_{pi}simeq 146$ MeV at a lattice spacing $asimeq 0.0846$ fm. We show that lattice QCD data analysis by the HAL QCD method leads to the scattering length $a_0 = 4.6 (6)(^{+1.2}_{-0.5}) {rm fm}$, the effective range $r_{rm eff} = 1.27 (3)(^{+0.06}_{-0.03}) {rm fm}$ and the binding energy $B_{Omega Omega} = 1.6 (6) (^{+0.7}_{-0.6}) {rm MeV}$. These results indicate that the $OmegaOmega$ system has an overall attraction and is located near the unitary regime. Such a system can be best searched experimentally by the pair-momentum correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
