EFFECTIVE THEORY APPROACH TO SUSY HADRON SPECTROSCOPY

Supersymmetric hadrons of the type (g) over tilde (g) over tilde, <g(g )over tilde>, and (g) over tildeq$(q) over tilde could exist depending on the masses of the gluino and the squarks being in an appropriate r ange of values. We find the energy levels of <g(g)over tilde> and (g) over tilde q (q) over bar bound states (where q denotes a light quark, u, d, or s), as well as the strong interaction transition rates among them, using a heavy gluino effective theory, much in the same spirit as the well-known heavy quark effective theory. The results are obtain ed with greater ease and elegance in comparison to other approaches.
