Abstract

We study the interaction of the doubly bottom systems BBBB, BBB^* B, BsBB_s B, BsBB_s^* B, BBB^* B^*, BBsB^* B_s, BBsB^*B_s^*, BsBsB_s B_s, BsBsB_s B_s^*, BsBsB_s^* B_s^* by means of vector meson exchange with Lagrangians from an extension of the local hidden gauge approach. The full s-wave scattering matrix is obtained implementing unitarity in coupled channels by means of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We find poles below the channel thresholds for the attractively interacting channels BBB^* B in I=0I=0, BsBBBsB^*_s B-B^*B_s in I=12I=\frac{1}{2}, BBB^* B^* in I=0I=0, and BsBB^*_s B^* in I=12I=\frac{1}{2}, all of them with JP=1+J^P=1^+. For these cases the widths are evaluated identifyng the dominant source of imaginary part. We find binding energies of the order of 102010-20 MeV, and the widths vary much from one system to the other: of the order of 10-100 eV for the BBB^* B system and BsBBBsB^*_s B-B^*B_s, about 66 MeV for the BBB^* B^* system and of the order of 0.50.5 MeV for the BsBB^*_s B^* system.
