contents We constrain the $S$-wave baryon-baryon interaction using SU(6) symmetry within a nonrelativistic effective field theory. The most general leading-order Lagrangian contains two independent parameters, which we determine using physical $NN$ and lattice QCD $ΩΩ$ scattering lengths. This framework allows for parameter-free predictions in the strangeness $S=-2$ sector relevant to the $H$ dibaryon. Solving the coupled-channel scattering problem, we identify two bound states below the $ΛΛ$ threshold, one deeply bound and one shallow, along with resonances near the $ΣΣ$ and $Σ^*Σ^*$ thresholds. We demonstrate that these poles result in distinct enhancements in $ΛΛ$ invariant mass distributions, suggesting that the $H$ dibaryon exists as a multichannel bound state and providing clear signatures for experimental verification.
