Abstract

Mass and full width of the heavy scalar molecule M\mathcal{M} composed of the mesons Bc+B_{c}^{+} and BcB_{c}^{-} are calculated in the QCD sum rule framework. To find its mass and current coupling, we apply the two-point sum rule method. The width of the hadronic molecule M=Bc+Bc\mathcal{M} =B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-} is evaluated by taking into account its dissociation to ηcηb,J/ψΥ\eta_c\eta_{b}, J/\psi \Upsilon, and Bc+BcB_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-} mesons. Decays into DD and BB meson pairs with appropriate charges and quantum numbers triggered by bb\overline{b}b and cc\overline{c}c annihilations to light quark-antiquarks are also included in the analyses. Because the partial widths of M\mathcal{M} molecule's decay channels depend on the strong couplings at M\mathcal{M}-meson-meson vertices, we estimate them by invoking tools of the three-point sum rule method. Our predictions m=(12725±85) MeVm=(12725 \pm 85)~\mathrm{ MeV} and Γ[ M]=(155±23) MeV\Gamma[\mathcal{\ M}]=(155 \pm 23)~ \mathrm{MeV} for the parameters of the molecule  M\mathcal{\ M} provide useful information for experimental studies of numerous heavy resonances.
