Detection of Nuclear-Bag States

Abstract

We discuss the masses of nuclear bag states containing $3A$ quarks, the decay width of the deuteron bag, ${d}^{*}$, the appearance of dinucleon bags as resonances in nucleon-nucleon reactions, the inelastic form factor for the reaction $\mathrm{ed}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{\ensuremath{'}}{d}^{*}$ and the differential cross section for $\mathrm{pd}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{p}^{\ensuremath{'}}{d}^{*}$. Separation of bag signals from the background from pion production requires the detection of one or more decay nucleons.
