Abstract: (APS)
In the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to the MIT bag model the color-singlet n-quark (and/or antiquark) system is studied. Analytic approximations to the spin-independent n-quark potential energy are developed, based on spherical and cylindrical trial bag shapes. The domain of validity of these results is established in the qq¯ case through tests against a numerical solution. The resulting three-quark potential contains Coulomb-type and confining parts. The Coulomb-type terms are purely two-body in nature, and the confinement term is a three-body potential.- heavy quark
