Stimulated by the newly reported doubly-charmed tetraquark state $T_{cc}^+$ by LHCb, we carry out a systematic investigation of the $S$-wave interactions between the charmed meson ($D,,D^{*}$) in $H$-doublet and the charmed meson ($D_{1},,D_{2}^{*}$) in $T$-doublet by adopting the one-boson-exchange model. Both the $S$-$D$ wave mixing effect and the coupled channel effect are taken into account. By performing a quantitative calculation, we suggest that the $S$-wave $D^{*} D_{1}$ states with $I(J^{P})=0(0^{-},,1^{-})$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}D_{2}^{*}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(1^{-})$ should be viewed as the most promising candidates of the doubly-charmed molecular tetraquark states, and the $S$-wave $DD_{1}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(1^{-})$, the $S$-wave $DD_{2}^{*}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(2^{-})$, and the $S$-wave $D^{*}D_{2}^{*}$ state with $I(J^{P})=0(2^{-})$ are the possible doubly-charmed molecular tetraquark candidates. With the accumulation of experimental data at Run III and after High-Luminosity-LHC upgrade, these predicted doubly-charmed molecular tetraquark states can be accessible at LHCb in the near future.
We perform a systematic exploration of the possible doubly charmed molecular pentaquarks composed of $Sigma_c^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ with the one-boson-exchange potential model. After taking into account the $S-D$ wave mixing and the coupled channel effects, we predict several possible doubly charmed molecular pentaquarks, which include the $Sigma_cD$ with $I(J^P) = 1/2(1/2^-)$, $Sigma_c^*D$ with $1/2(3/2^-)$, and $Sigma_cD^*$ with $1/2(1/2^-)$, $1/2(3/2^-)$. The $Sigma_cD$ state with $3/2(1/2^-)$ and $Sigma_cD^*$ state with $3/2(1/2^-)$ may also be suggested as candidates of doubly charmed molecular pentaquarks. The $Sigma_cD$ and $Sigma_c^*D$ states can be searched for by analyzing the $Lambda_cDpi$ invariant mass spectrum of the bottom baryon and $B$ meson decays. The $Sigma_cD^*$ states can be searched for in the invariant mass spectrum of $Lambda_cD^*pi$, $Lambda_cDpipi$ and $Lambda_cDpigamma$. Since the width of $Sigma_c^*$ is much larger than that of $D^*$, $Sigma_c^*Drightarrow Lambda_cDpi$ will be the dominant decay mode. We sincerely hope these candidates for the doubly charmed molecular pentaqurks will be searched by LHCb or BelleII collaboration in the near future.
The phenomenology of the so-called X, Y and Z hadronic resonances is hard to reconcile with standard charmonium or bottomonium interpretations. It has been suggested that some of these new hadrons can possibly be described as tightly bound tetraquark states and/or as loosely bound two-meson molecules. In the present paper we focus on the hypothetical existence of flavored, doubly charmed, tetraquarks. Such states might also carry double electric charge, and in this case, if discovered, they could univocally be interpreted in terms of compact tetraquarks. Flavored tetraquarks are also amenable to lattice studies as their interpolating operators do not overlap with ordinary meson ones. We show that doubly charmed tetraquarks could significantly be produced at LHC from B_c or Xi_bc heavy baryons.
The chiral corrections to the magnetic moments of the spin-$frac{1}{2}$ doubly charmed baryons are systematically investigated up to next-to-next-to-leading order with heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). The numerical results are calculated up to next-to-leading order: $mu_{Xi^{++}_{cc}}=-0.25mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{+}_{cc}}=0.85mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{+}_{cc}}=0.78mu_{N}$. We also calculate the magnetic moments of the other doubly heavy baryons, including the doubly bottomed baryons (bbq) and the doubly heavy baryons containing a light quark, a charm quark and a bottom quark (${bc}q$ and $[bc]q$): $mu_{Xi^{0}_{bb}}=-0.84mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{-}_{bb}}=0.26mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{-}_{bb}}=0.19mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{+}_{{bc}q}}=-0.54mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{0}_{{bc}q}}=0.56mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{0}_{{bc}q}}=0.49mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{+}_{[bc]q}}=0.69mu_{N}$, $mu_{Xi^{0}_{[bc]q}}=-0.59mu_{N}$, $mu_{Omega^{0}_{[bc]q}}=0.24mu_{N}$.
The isospin breaking effect plays an essential role in generating hadronic molecular states with a very tiny binding energy. Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration observed a very narrow doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}^+$ in the $D^0D^0pi$ mass spectrum, which lies just below the $D^0D^{*+}$ threshold around 273 keV. In this work, we study the $D^0D^{*+}/D^+D^{*0}$ interactions with the one-boson-exchange effective potentials and consider the isospin breaking effect carefully. We not only reproduce the mass of the newly observed $T_{cc}^+$ very well in the doubly charmed molecular tetraquark scenario, but also predict the other doubly charmed partner resonance $T_{cc}^{prime+}$ with $m=3876~text{MeV}$, and $Gamma= 412~text{keV}$. The prime decay modes of the $T_{cc}^{prime+}$ are $D^0D^+gamma$ and $D^+D^0pi^0$.
The doubly charmed exotic state $T_{cc}$ recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration could well be a $DD^{*}$ molecular state long predicted in various theoretical models, in particular, the $DD^*$ isoscalar axial vector molecular state predicted in the one-boson-exchange model. In this work, we study the $DDD^*$ system in the Gaussian Expansion Method with the $DD^*$ interaction derived from the one-boson-exchange model and constrained by the precise binding energy of $273pm63$ keV of $T_{cc}$ with respect to the $D^{*+}D^0$ threshold. We show the existence of a $DDD^*$ state with a binding energy of a few hundred keV and spin-parity $1^-$. Its main decay modes are $DDDpi$ and $DDDgamma$. The existence of such a state could in principle be confirmed with the upcoming LHC data and will unambiguously determine the nature of the $T_{cc}^+$ state and of the many exotic state of similar kind, thus deepening our understanding of the non-perturbative strong interaction.
