The gluonic excitation of the three-quark system in SU(3) lattice QCD

We present the first study of the gluonic excitation in the three-quark (3Q) system in SU(3) lattice QCD with $\beta$=5.8 and $16^3 \times 32 $ at the quenched level. For the spatially-fixed 3Q system, we measure the gluonic excited-state potential, which corresponds to the flux-tube vibrational energy in the flux-tube picture. The lowest gluonic-excitation energy in the 3Q system is found to be about 1GeV in the hadronic scale. This large gluonic-excitation energy is expected to bring about the success of the simple quark model without gluonic modes.
