Diabatic Representation of Exotic Hadrons in the Dynamical Diquark Model

Abstract

We apply the diabatic formalism, an extension of the adiabatic approximation inherent to the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approach of atomic physics, to the problem of mixing between exotic multiquark hadrons and their nearby di-hadron thresholds. The unperturbed BO eigenstates are obtained using the dynamical diquark model, while the diabatic calculation introduces a mixing potential between these states and the threshold states. We solve the resulting coupled Schr\"{o}dinger equations numerically for hidden-charm tetraquarks of both open and closed strangeness to obtain physical mass eigenvalues, and explore the di-hadron state content and spatial extent of the eigenstates. As an explicit example, X(3872)X(3872) emerges with a dominant D0Dˉ0D^0 \bar D^{*0} component, but also contains a considerable diquark-antidiquark component that can contribute significantly to its radiative decay widths, and this component also generates a full multiplet of other diquark-based exotic hadrons to be compared with experiment.
