PROPERTIES OF SCALAR-QUARK SYSTEMS IN SU(3)c LATTICE QCD

    We perform the first study for the bound states of colored scalar particles ϕ (“scalar quarks”) in terms of mass generation with quenched SU(3)c lattice QCD. We investigate the bound states of ϕ, ϕϕ and ϕϕϕ (“scalar-quark hadrons”), as well as the bound states of ϕ and quarks ψ, i.e., ϕψ, ψψϕ and ϕϕψ (“chimera hadrons”). All these new-type hadrons including ϕ have a large mass of several GeV due to large quantum corrections by gluons, even for zero bare scalar-quark mass mϕ = 0 at a−1 ~ 1GeV. We find a similar mψ-dependence between ϕψ and ϕϕψ, which indicates their similar structure due to the large mass of ϕ. From this study, we conjecture that all colored particles generally acquire a large effective mass due to dressed gluons.
