Abstract

We investigate the exotic ΩΩ\Omega\Omega dibaryon states with JP=0+J^P=0^+ and 2+2^+ in a molecular picture. We construct the scalar and tensor Ω\OmegaΩ\Omega molecular interpolating currents and calculate their masses within the method of QCD sum rules. Our results indicate that the mass of the scalar dibaryon state is mΩΩ,0+=(3.33±0.22)\unitm_{\Omega\Omega, \, 0^+}=(3.33\pm0.22) \,\unit, which is about 15MeV15 \,\mathrm{MeV} below the 2mΩ2m_\Omega threshold. This result suggests the existence of a loosely bound molecular state of the JP=0+J^P=0^+ scalar ΩΩ\Omega\Omega dibaryon with a small binding energy around 15 MeV. The mass of the tensor dibaryon is predicted to be mΩΩ,2+=(3.24±0.23)\mboxGeVm_{\Omega\Omega,\, 2^+}=(3.24\pm0.23)\, \mbox{GeV}, which may imply a deeper molecular state of the tensor ΩΩ\Omega\Omega dibaryon than the scalar channel. These exotic strangeness S=6S=-6 and doubly-charged ΩΩ\Omega\Omega dibaryon states may be identified in the heavy-ion collision processes.
