Abstract

In 2021, LHCb collaboration reported a very narrow state in the D0D0π+D^0D^0\pi^+ mass spectrum just below the D+D0D^{*+}D^0 mass threshold. We consider the influence of the Castillejo-Dalitz-Dyson (CDD) pole in the scattering amplitude to derive a general treatment for the two-body final state interaction near its threshold. The line shape (or the energy dependent event distribution) are then obtained, where the parameters can be fixed by fitting to the experimental data on the D0D0π+D^0D^0\pi^+ mass spectrum. Within our method the data are quite well reproduced. The pole structure in the complex energy plane indicates that the TccT_{cc} state has a large portion of elementary degree of freedom (e.g., the compact tetraquark component) inside its hadron wave function. The compositeness as a measure of molecule component in its wave function is predicted to be 0.230.09+0.400.23_{-0.09}^{+0.40}. Clearly, the non-molecular component takes a non-negligible or even dominant portion.
