Some Multi-Quark Potentials, Pseudo-Potentials and AdS/QCD

Understand

The static three-quark potential and pseudo-potential of a pure SU(3) gauge theory are studied in a five-dimensional framework known as AdS/QCD.

• The results support the Y-ansatz for the baryonic area law.
• A comparison with the quark-antiquark calculations shows the universality of the string tension as well as the spatial string tension.
• We also discuss extensions to SU(N) gauge theories.
