Abstract

The most fascinating dibaryon in the non-strange quark sector is d(2380)d^*(2380), which was reported by WASA-at-COSY Collaboration and confirmed by A2@MAMI Collaboration. The reported mass and width are M2.37M\approx2.37 GeV, Γ70\Gamma\approx70 MeV and the quantum numbers IJP=03+IJ^P=03^+. The structure of d(2380)d^*(2380) is still in controversy. In the present calculation, the powerful method in few-body system, Gaussian expansion method is employed to explore the structure of d(2380)d^*(2380) in the framework of constituent quark models without assuming the presupposed structure. The results show that the radius of d(2380)d^*(2380) is around 0.7 fm, a very compact object. Because of the compact structure, the color singlet-singlet component has a large overlap with the color octet-octet one, two colorless, large overlapped Δ\Deltas dominate the state is possible.
