X Abstract

We calculate, with several corrections, the non-relativistic binding by Higgs exchange and gluon exchange between six top and six anti-top quarks (actually replaced by left-handed b quarks from time to time). The remarkable result is that, within our calculational accuracy of the order of 14% in the top quark Yukawa coupling g_t, the experimental running top quark Yukawa coupling g_t = >.935 happens to have just that value which gives a perfect cancellation of the unbound mass = 12 top quark masses by this binding energy. In other words the bound state is massless to the accuracy of our calculation!

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
