Exotic hadron containing seven quarks or antiquarks
In particle physics , heptaquarks are a family of hypothetical composite particles , each consisting of seven quarks or antiquarks of any flavours.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Properties
One model predicts that the lowest-energy heptaquark state would be a spin-1/2 or spin-3/2 state of energy roughly 2.5 GeV.[ 5] Another study found that the most stable heptaquark would include three strange quarks and two strange antiquarks.[ 6]
