Abstract

We present a systematic investigation of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of doubly charmed baryons (ΞccΞcc\Xi_{cc}\Xi_{cc}) or one doubly charmed baryon and one doubly charmed antibaryon (ΞccΞˉcc)(\Xi_{cc}\bar{\Xi}_{cc}) within the framework of the one-boson-exchange-potential model. For the spin-triplet systems, we take into account the mixing between the 3S1{}^3S_1 and 3D1{}^3D_1 channels. For the baryon-baryon system ΞccΞcc\Xi_{cc}\Xi_{cc} with (R,I)=(3ˉ,1/2)(R,I) = (\bar{3}, 1/2) and (3ˉ,0)(\bar{3}, 0), where RR and II represent the group representation and the isospin of the system, respectively, there exist loosely bound molecular states. For the baryon-antibaryon system ΞccΞˉcc\Xi_{cc}\bar{\Xi}_{cc} with (R,I)=(8,1)(R,I) = (8, 1), (8,1/2)(8, 1/2) and (8,0)(8,0), there also exist deuteron-like molecules. The BccBˉccB_{cc}\bar{B}_{cc} molecular states may be produced at LHC. The proximity of their masses to the threshold of two doubly charmed baryons provides a clean clue to identify them.
