Abstract: (Elsevier)
The spectrum of qq qq states, examined in a quark-gluon model combined with dual unitarization, yields two types of baryoniums both of which have narrow widths into mesons. One type has normal hadronic widths ∼ 100 MeV into B B . The other is narrow, ∼ 10 MeV, and goes into B B only reluctantly, preferring, if possible, to decay by cascade, and, being a consequence only of hidden colour, is an important object to verify experimentally.
