A new quark model for Nb7 annihilation is proposed. It is argued that a linear superposition of the so-called SP 0 and SS t models is more consistent with QCD and the inclusion of quark degrees of freedom in NN scattering, and is also suggested by the data. A comparison is made, in Born approximation, with the angular distribution for p~AA. PACS" 25.10+ 5; 12.40.Qq Applications of QCD to low energy hadronic interactions require numerical calculations on a lattice or models. Among the latter are bag models, topological and nontopological soliton models, and flux-tube type models. It has been shown that the so-called SP o model [1,2] in which a quark(q)-antiquark(~) pair are created from, or annihilated into, the vacuum is related to QCD and flux-tube approximations thereto [3]. In recent years an effective perturbative approach [4] or "3S1" model [5,2] 1 has also been shown to be effective in describing reactions in which a q ~ pair is annihilated or created. Reactions in which these models have been applied include nucleon-antinucleon (NbT) annihilation [2].A number of recent letters and papers argue that one model (e.g. 3P0) is superior to the other (e.g. "3S 1 ") [6]. We wish to argue in this short article that such comparisons should not be made, but rather, that these two models emphasize different aspects of QCD. Furthermore a description consistent with NN scattering models also leads to a superposition of the 3P 0 and "sst" models as components of an overall scheme. We show that this is also suggested by the data.Almost all models which incorporate quark-gluon degrees of freedom in the description of the NN inter-1 The name sS 1 is a misnomer because the virtual gluon exchanged between quarks/antiquarks has both transverse (je = 1 -) and longitudinal (JP=0 +) or Coulomb components. It thus is not a pure (qO) sS1 model, and we use quotes for that reason action [7] require two parts: (1) a short distance one gluon exchange force and (2) a long distance scalar confining force. Indeed the combination of the one gluon exchange and a linear confining force reproduces the spectra of heavy quarkonia systems such as c g, b b, and those of one light and one heavy quark such as D ~ D ~ [8]. For light quark (u, d, s) systems the confining forces are often taken to be harmonic (~ r 2) in potential models [7]. If we begin with a field theory and use crossing symmetry, then consistency requires that similar forces should be present in the NN system, i.e. a short range one gluon exchange and a long range scalar interaction.The important features which appear to be present in both nuclear and quark systems is that they are dominated by scalar (or pseudoscalar) and vector interactions. In the NN system these are described, at large distances, by ~, a, p, and co exchanges. In q q and q c~ systems they arise from gluon exchange and the confining force. There is good evidence [9] that the confining force is a scalar one which is independent of flavor, whereas the one gluon force is clearly a colored-vector exchange one.In ...
