Abstract

In this study, we investigate the mass spectrum of the ΩΩˉ\Omega\bar{\Omega} states with quantum numbers JPC=0+J^{PC}=0^{-+}, 11^{--}, 0++0^{++}, and 1++1^{++} within the framework of QCD sum rules. Employing suitably constructed interpolating currents, the analyses are carried out with the operator product expansion (OPE) including condensate contributions up to dimension 1212. Our results indicate the existence of four possible baryonium states with masses m0+=(3.22±0.07)m_{0^{-+}}=(3.22\pm0.07) GeV, m1=(3.28±0.08)m_{1^{--}}=(3.28\pm0.08) GeV, m0++=(3.46±0.09)m_{0^{++}}=(3.46\pm0.09) GeV, and m1++=(3.54±0.11)m_{1^{++}}=(3.54\pm0.11) GeV. For the 0+0^{-+} and 11^{--} states, the predicted masses lie below the corresponding dibaryon thresholds, suggesting possible bound-state configurations. In contrast, the 0++0^{++} and 1++1^{++} states are found above the respective thresholds, implying resonance-like behavior. Potential decay channels for these baryonium candidates are discussed, with emphasis on those accessible to current experimental facilities such as BESIII, Belle II, and LHCb.
