Quark Cluster Model Study of Isospin-Two Dibaryons

Based on a quark cluster model for the non-strange sector that reproduces reasonably well the nucleon-nucleon system and the excitation of the ∆ isobar, we generate a nucleon-∆ interaction and present the predictions for the several isospin two channels. The only attractive channels are 0+ and 0, but not attractive enough to generate a resonance. If a resonance is artificially generated and is required to have the observed experimental mass, then our model predicts a width that agrees with the experimental result.
