Inspired by the newly observed $Z_{cs}^-(3985)$ by BESIII collaboration, we study the structure of this particle in the picture of $D_s^{(*)-}D^{(*)0}$ molecular state. Firstly we systematically construct the Lagrangians which describing the interaction of charmed mesons, taking into account the chiral and hidden local symmetries. With the obtained effective potentials from the Lagrangians constructed, we solve the coupled channel Bethe-Salpeter equation with the on-shell approximation. On the third Reimann sheet, a pole position of around $3982.34-i0.53$ MeV is obtained, which can be associated to the $Z_{cs}^-(3985)$ and explained as a loose bound state of $D_s^*\bar{D}^*$.
The newly observed $Ξ(1620)^0$ by the Belle Collaboration inspires our interest in performing a systematic study on the interaction of an anti-strange meson $(\bar{K}^{(*)})$ with a strange or doubly strange ground octet baryon $\mathcal{B}$ ($Λ$, $Σ$, and $Ξ$), where the spin-orbit force and the recoil correction are considered in the adopted one-boson-exchange model. Our results indicate that $Ξ(1620)^0$ can be explained as a $\bar{K}Λ$ molecular state with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^-)$ and the intermediate force from $σ$ exchange plays an important role. Additionally, we also predict several other po…
In this work, we perform a dynamical study of the $B^{(*)}$ and $\bar K$ interaction and show that the newly reported $X(5568)$ or $X(5616)$ cannot be assigned to be an isovector $B\bar{K}$ or $B^*\bar{K}$ molecular state. We continue to investigate the isoscalar $B^{(*)}\bar{K}$ systems, and the $B^{(*)}\bar{K}$ systems with isospin $I=0,1$, and predict the existence of several isoscalar $B^{(*)}\bar K^{(*)}$ molecular states. A new task of exploring open-bottom molecular states will be created for future experiments.
Very recently, a new $Ω^{*}$ state was reported by the Belle Collaboration, with its mass of $2012.4 \pm 0.7\ \text{(stat)}\pm 0.6\ \text{(syst)}\ \mathrm{MeV}$, which locates just below the $KΞ^*$ threshold and hence hints to be a possible $KΞ^*$ hadronic molecule. Using the effective Lagrangian approach as the same as our previous works for other possible hadronic molecular states, we investigate the decay behavior of this new $Ω^*$ state within the hadronic molecular picture. The results show that the measured decay width can be reproduced well and its dominant decay channel is predicted to…
We suggest that the newly observed resonance Y(4260) is a $χ_{c}-ρ^0$ molecule, which is an isovector. In this picture, we can easily interpret why $Y(4260)\to π^+π^-J/ψ$ has a larger rate than $Y(4260)\to D\bar D$ which has not been observed, and we also predict existence of the other two components of the isotriplet and another two possible partner states which may be observed in the future experiments. A direct consequence of this structure is that for this molecular structure $Y(4260)\to π^+π^-J/ψ$ mode is more favorable than $Y(4260)\to K\bar KJ/ψ$ which may have a larger fraction if othe…
In this work, we adopt the one-boson-exchange model to study the $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ interactions. With the same parameters, we can simultaneously reproduce the masses of the $D_{s0}(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, and $T_{c\bar{s}}^{a0(++)}(2900)$ recently observed by the LHCb collaboration in the hadronic molecular picture, where the $D_{s0}(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, and $T_{c\bar{s}}^{a0(++)}(2900)$ are regarded as the $DK[I(J^P)=0(0^+)]$, $D^*K[0(1^+)]$, and $D^*K^*[1(0^+)]$ charmed-strange molecular states, respectively. In addition, we extend to study the $Λ_cK^{(*)}$ and $Σ_cK^{(*)}$ interactions an…
Stimulated by the $P_{cs}(4459)$ reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we perform a single $Ξ_c\bar{D}^*$ channel and a coupled $Ξ_c\bar{D}^*/Ξ_c^*\bar{D}/Ξ_c^{\prime}\bar{D}^*/Ξ_c^*\bar{D}^*$ channel analysis by using a one-boson-exchange model. Our results indicate that the newly $P_{cs}(4459)$ cannot be a pure $Ξ_c\bar{D}^*$ molecular state, but a coupled $Ξ_c\bar{D}^*/Ξ_c^*\bar{D}/Ξ_c^{\prime}\bar{D}^*/Ξ_c^*\bar{D}^*$ bound state with $I(J^P)=0(3/2^-)$, where the $Ξ_c\bar{D}^*$ and $Ξ_c^*\bar{D}$ components are dominant. Meanwhile, we find the interactions from the $Ξ_c^{\prime}\bar{D}^*$ sy…
Very recently, three new structures $Ξ_c(2923)^0$, $Ξ(2938)^0$, and $Ξ(2964)^0$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $Λ_c^{+}K^{-}$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about their inner structure. In this work, we study the strong decay mode of the newly observed $Ξ_c$ assuming that the $Ξ_c$ is a $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state. With the possible quantum numbers $J^p=1/2^{\pm}$ and $3/2^{\pm}$, the partial decay widths of the $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state into the $Λ_c^{+}K^{-}$, $Σ_c^{+}K^{-}$,and $Ξ_c^{+}π^{-}$ final states through hadronic loop are calculate…
In this Letter we interpret the Y(4260), a state recently discovered by the BaBar Collaboration that has a mass within the range of conventional charmonium states, as having a molecular-state structure. In our scheme this molecular-like state is not constructed out of two-quark mesons, but rather out of baryons, i.e., the Y(4260) is a baryonium state. With this interpretation, the unusual measured properties of the Y(4260) are easily understood and some further peculiar decay characteristics are predicted.
We investigate whether the newly observed narrow resonance $Z_{c}(4025)$ can be described as a $D^{*}\bar{D^{*}}$ molecular state with quantum numbers $J^{P}=1^{+}$. Using QCD sum rules, we consider contributions up to dimension six in the operator product expansion and work at leading order of $α_{s}$. The mass obtained for this state is $(4.05\pm 0.28) \mbox{GeV}$. It is concluded that $D^{*}\bar{D^{*}}$ molecular state is a possible candidate for $Z_{c}(4025)$.
The two newly observed hidden-charm mesons Zc(+)[3900] and a possible partner state Zc'(+)[3950] with quantum numbers J(P) = 1(+) are considered as hadronic molecules composed of bar(D)D* and bar(D)* D*, respectively. We give predictions for the decay widths of the strong two-body transitions Zc(+) -> H + pi(+) and Zc' -> H + pi(+) with H = Psi(nS), hc(mP) in a phenomenological Lagrangian approach.
We study the $\bar{K} Ξ$ decay mode of the newly observed $Ω(2012)$ assuming that the $Ω(2012)$ is a dynamically generated state with spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$ from the coupled channel $S$-wave interactions of $\bar{K}Ξ(1530)$ and $ηΩ$. In addition we also calculate its $KπΞ$ three-body decay mode. It is shown that the so-obtained total decay width is in fair agreement with the experimental data. We compare our results with those of other recent studies and highlight differences among them.
Very recently a new enhancement around 4.05 GeV was observed by Belle experiment. In this short note, we discuss some possible assignments for this enhancement, i.e. $ψ(3S)$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state. In these two assignments, Y(4008) can decay into $J/ψπ^0π^0$ with comparable branching ratio with that of $Y(4008)\to J/ψπ^+π^-$. Thus one suggests high energy experimentalists to look for Y(4008) in $J/ψπ^0π^0$ channel. Furthermore one proposes further experiments to search missing channel $D\bar{D}$, $D\bar{D}^*+h.c.$ and especially $χ_{cJ}π^+π^-π^0$ and $η_cπ^+π^-π^0$, which will be h…
Recently, a hadronic state named $η_1(1855)$, about 1.86 GeV, was observed in the BESIII experiment. This finding has a peculiar interest due to its exotic quantum number $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$. In this paper, we examine the tetraquark interpretation for the structure of $η_1(1855)$ in the configurations of $[1_c]_{\bar{s}s}\otimes[1_c]_{\bar{q}q}$ and $[1_c]_{\bar{s}q}\otimes[1_c]_{\bar{s}q}$, and perform a mass spectrum calculation in the framework of QCD sum rules. The results show that the observed $η_1(1855)$ could be embedded into the $[1_c]_{\bar{s}s}\otimes[1_c]_{\bar{q}q}$ configuration. The…
We consider an alternative explanation of newly found growth of neutral pion transition form factor with virtuality of one of photon. It is based on Sudakov suppression of quark-photon vertex. Some applications to scattering and annihilation channels are considered including the relevant experiments with lepton-proton scattering.
Assuming the newly observed structure $Z_{b}(10610)$ as a bottomonium-like molecular state $B^{*}\bar{B}$, we calculate its mass in the framework of QCD sum rules. The numerical result is $10.54\pm0.22 GeV$ for $B^{*}\bar{B}$, which coincide with the mass of $Z_{b}(10610)$. This consolidates the statement made by Belle Collaboration that the $Z_{b}(10610)$ resonance could be a $B^{*}\bar{B}$ molecular state.
In this letter, we decode the newly observed charmoniumlike states, $Y(4320)$ and $Y(4390)$, by introducing interference effect between $ψ(4160)$ and $ψ(4415)$, which plays a role of resonance killer for $Y(4320)$ and $Y(4390)$. It means that two newly reported charmoniumlike states are not genuine resonances, according to which we can naturally explain why two well-established charmonia $ψ(4160)$ and $ψ(4415)$ are missing in the cross sections of $e^+e^- \to π^+ π^- J/ψ$ and $π^+ π^- h_c$ simultaneously. To well describe the detailed data of these cross sections around $\sqrt{s}=4.2$ GeV, our…
Inspired by the newly observed $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ and the reported $P_{cs}(4459)$, we indicate the existence of the molecular-type characteristic mass spectrum for hidden-charm pentaquark with strangeness. It shows that the $P_{cs}(4459)$ may contain two substructures corresponding to the $Ξ_c\bar{D}^*$ molecular states with $J^P=1/2^-$ and $3/2^-$, while there exists the corresponding $Ξ_c \bar{D}$ molecular state with $J^P=1/2^-$. As the prediction, we present another characteristic mass spectrum of the $Ξ_c^\prime\bar{D}^{(*)}$ molecular states. Experimental confirmation of these characterist…
Recently, the BES collaboration observed a broad resonant structure X(1576) with a large width being around 800 MeV and assigned its $J^{PC}$ number to $1^{--}$. We show that the isospin of this resonant structure should be assigned to 1. This state might be a molecule state or a tetraquark state. We study the consequences of a possible $K^*(892)$-${\bar κ}$ molecular interpretation. In this scenario, the broad width can easily be understood. By using the data of $B(J/ψ\to Xπ^0)\cdot B(X\to K^+K^-)$, the branching ratios $B(J/ψ\to Xπ^0)\cdot B(X\to π^+π^-)$ and $B(J/ψ\to Xπ^0)\cdot B(X\to K^+K…
In this work, we study strong and radiative decays of S-wave DΞmolecular state, which is related to the Ω^*_c states newly observed at LHCb. The coupling between the DΞmolecular state and its constituents D and Ξis calculated by using the compositeness condition. With the obtained coupling, the partial decay widths of the DΞmolecular state into the Ξ_c^{+}K^{-}, Ξ^{'+}_cK^{-} and Ω^{*}_c(2695)γfinal states through hadronic loop are calculated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. By comparison with the LHCb observation, the current results of total decay width support the Ω^{*}_c(3119) o…
After the discovery of the new $Ω^{*}$ state, the ratio of the branching fractions of $Ω(2012)\to \bar{K}πΞ$ relative to $\bar{K}Ξ$ decay channel was investigated by the Belle Collaboration recently. The measured $11.9\%$ up limit on this ratio is in sharp tension with the $S$-wave $\bar{K}Ξ(1530)$ molecule interpretation for $Ω(2012)$ which indicates the dominant $\bar{K}πΞ$ three-body decay. In the present work, we try to explore the possibility of the $P$-wave molecule assignments for $Ω(2012)$ (where $Ω(2012)$ has positive parity). It is found that the latest experimental measurements are …
Assuming the newly observed resonant structures X(1910), X(2200), and X(2350) as $ωω$, $ωϕ$, and $ϕϕ$ molecular states respectively, we compute their mass values in the framework of QCD sum rules. The numerical results are $1.97\pm0.17 {GeV}$ for $ωω$ state, $2.07\pm0.21 {GeV}$ for $ωϕ$ state, and $2.18\pm0.29 {GeV}$ for $ϕϕ$ state, which coincide with the experimental values of X(1910), X(2200), and X(2350), respectively. This supports the statement that X(1910), X(2200), and X(2350) could be $ωω$, $ωϕ$, and $ϕϕ$ molecular candidates respectively.
We calculate the magnetic dipole moment of the newly observed charged hidden-charmed open strange $ Z_{cs}(3985)^- $ state, recently observed by BESIII Collaboration. Based on the information provided by the experiment and theoretical studies followed the observation, we assign the quantum numbers $ J^{P} = 1^{+}$ and the quark composition $ c \bar c s\bar u $ to this state and estimate the magnetic dipole moment of this resonance in both the compact diquark-antidiquark and molecular pictures. We apply the light cone QCD formalism and use the distribution amplitudes of the on-shell photon with…
