%0 Journal Article %T A model for multi-quark systems %A A. M. Green %A P. Pennanen %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(98)00300-1 %X As a step towards understanding multi-quark systems abundant in nature we construct a model that reproduces the binding energies of static four-quark systems. These energies have been calculated using SU(2) lattice gauge theory for a set of six different geometries representative of the general case. The model is based on ground and excited state two-body potentials and multi-quark interaction terms. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-lat/9709124v2
