Color-electric instabilities in baryons and dibaryons?

Abstract It is shown that the wavefunctions used in conjunction with Harvey's quark potential to study baryons and dibaryons are far from the variational equilibrium. Once self-consistency is imposed, we find that the color-electric interaction yields no configuration mixing in the nucleon. It is further reckoned, following an estimate, that configuration mixing in the six-quark system might be greatly reduced at equilibrium.
