No radial excitations in low energy QCD. I. Diquarks and classification of mesons

We propose a new schematic model for mesons in which the building blocks are quarks and flavor-antisymmetric diquarks. The outcome is a new classification of the entire meson spectrum into quark–antiquark and diquark–antidiquark states which does not give rise to a radial quantum number: all mesons...
