Abstract

In this work, we investigate the production and decay of the molecular states cccˉqˉcc\bar c\bar q with JP=1+J^P=1^+ using the phenomenological analysis and effective Lagrangian approach. Based on an SU(3) flavor symmetry analysis to identify golden channels, we further explore the dynamics of these processes under the molecular assumptions of ηcD{\eta_c D^*} and J/ψD{J/\psi D^*}. Our results indicate that the production branching ratio from BcB_c meson is sizable, it can reach the order of 10410^{-4} for the molecular configuration ηcD{{\eta}_cD^*}, and 10510^{-5} for molecule J/ψD{J/\psi D^*}. In addition, we find that the decay widths of the two molecular configurations ηcD{{\eta}_cD^*} and J/ψD{J/\psi D^*} are not significant, being at level of O\cal{O}(MeV\rm {MeV}).
