Abstract
A classification of the new particles is proposed. Hadrons are constructed from quarks corresponding to several different representations of an S color group, with confined color. The new family of resonances, related to , is assigned to color-antisextet quarks . These new quarks do not form mixed mesons with old antiquarks but can form mixed baryons . We speculate on the relation between color and mass. High-mass recurrences of the family are expected to have associated large changes in the cross section for electron-positron annihilation (). A conjectured mass formula, which relates the masses of and , predicts the masses of possible recurrences of the particle. Other experimental implications at presently available energies are discussed, especially the necessity for an isovector partner for , and for pseudoscalar mesons at 1.8-2.2 GeV, some of which can decay into two photons.
