Abstract

The glow model of broken QCD allows for free, low-mass, fractionally charged, glow-singlet, color 6 diquarks Q. Apparently the Q's are nearly confined at present e+e and hadronic energies. The situation can be quite different in heavy-ion collisons. In contrast to other models, the glow model allows for parameters which could lead to fractional charge production at Bevalac energies. A search at the Bevalac is proposed that is sensitive to the production of ∼ 1011 diquark/collision.
