Quark "fusion"
Just published in Nature. Unfortunately I don't have access to the full article, but it looks like they call "fusion" a quark rearrangement between 2 baryons to produce 2 different baryons, presumably with less potential energy overall, and release the extra energy. IMHO this has nothing to do with fusion - except a large tongue in cheek. The energy required to create the 2 special baryons in the first place is not discussed (at least not in the abstract).

I am charmed at this charmingly arranged hypothesis of double heavy baryons. How they do carryon.

Re: Quark "fusion"
I believe quantum ducks are composed of these heavy Baryons; this makes them heavier than a witch*, yet they still, like a traditional duck, go "quark, quark, quark ..."
*To younger people and those who do not watch British humor movies - this reference is relative to a 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' movie and a 'witch' being lighter than a duck (one NOT made of heavier baryon matter, no doubt); which (no pun here), turns out to be true in a rather funny comedy routine.

Re: Quark "fusion"
It is rare that we leave the serious nature of these forums, but every now and then, a bit of refreshing humor creeps in. Nature is a very serious venue and heavily peer reviewed. Still, we had a bit of fun on the face of the premise of the paper. Sorry, "Nature", we couldn't resist.
