Abstract

The three pentaquark states, Pc(4312)P_c(4312), Pc(4440)P_c(4440) and Pc(4457)P_c(4457), discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, can be arranged into a complete heavy quark spin symmetry multiplet of hadronic molecules of Dˉ()Σc()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}. In the heavy quark mass limit, the Σc()\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)} baryons can be related to the doubly charmed tetraquark states of isospin 1, i.e., Tcˉcˉ()T_{\bar{c}\bar{c}}^{(\ast)}( Tcˉcˉ0T_{\bar{c}\bar{c}}^{0}, Tcˉcˉ1T_{\bar{c}\bar{c}}^{1}, Tcˉcˉ2T_{\bar{c}\bar{c}}^{2}), via heavy antiquark diquark symmetry, which dictates that the Dˉ()Σc()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)} interactions are the same as the Dˉ()Tcˉcˉ()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}T_{\bar{c}\bar{c}}^{(\ast)} interactions up to { heavy antiquark diquark symmetry} breakings. In this work, we employ the contact-range effective field theory to systematically study the Dˉ()Tcˉcˉ()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}T_{\bar{c}\bar{c}}^{(\ast)} systems, and we show the existence of a complete heavy quark spin symmetry multiplet of hadronic molecules composed of a doubly charmed tetraquark state and a charmed meson. These are a new kind of hadronic molecules and, if discovered, can lead to a better understanding of the many exotic hadrons discovered so far. In addition, we summarise the triply charmed hexaquark states formed by different combinations of hadrons. In particular, we show that Ωˉcccp\bar{\Omega}_{ccc}{p} system can bind by the Coulomb force, which is analogous to a hydrogenlike atom.
