Abstract

The photoprodution of doubly heavy baryon (Ξcc,Ξbb,Ξbc\Xi_{cc},\Xi_{bb},\Xi_{bc}) is investigated in the context of future high-energy and high-luminosity e+ee^+e^- colliders. The study incorporates two sources of initial photons, namely the LBS photon and the WWA photon. Alongside the direct photoproduction via the sub-process γ+γΞQQ+Qˉ+Qˉ\gamma+\gamma \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}} (Q()=c,bQ^{(')}=c,b), the resolved photoproduction channels are specifically considered, encompassing the sub-processes γ+gΞQQ+Qˉ+Qˉ\gamma + g \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}}, g+gΞQQ+Qˉ+Qˉg + g \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}}, and q+qˉΞQQ+Qˉ+Qˉq + \bar{q} \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}} with q=u,d,sq=u,d,s. Within the framework of non-relativistic QCD, two (cc(bb))(cc(bb))-diquark configurations, 3ˉ[3S1]{}_{\bar{\textbf{3}}}[{}^3S_1] and 6[1S0]{}_{\textbf{6}}[{}^1S_0], and four (bc)(bc)-diquark configurations, (bc)3ˉ[3S1](bc)_{\bar{\textbf{3}}}[{}^3S_1], (bc)6[1S0](bc)_{\textbf{6}}[{}^1S_0], (bc)6[3S1](bc)_{\textbf{6}}[{}^3S_1] and (bc)3ˉ[1S0](bc)_{\bar{\textbf{3}}}[{}^1S_0], are considered in the calculations. Numerical results show that the single resolved photoproduction processes provide dominant contributions under certain collision configuration. At the future e+ee^+e^- colliders, the doubly heavy baryon generated via the photoproduction mechanism is promisingly observable and can be well studied.
