Exotic Hadrons : Classification of Mass Models and Predictions for Non-Strange Dibaryons

Abstract: In this report we study theoretical models for calculating mass spectra of exotic hadrons and carry out numerical predictions for selected states. A brief introduction to the Standard Model and other key concepts are presented in order to contextualize and aid the reader. Four mass models are described and classified, applicable to different multiquark systems. Then, predictions for mass spectra of six non-strange dibaryon candidates are performed, using a simple mass formula with parameters fixed from experimentally determined baryon masses. Finally, results are discussed in relation to other existing work on the subject.
