Abstract

By solving the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, possible hadronic molecules in the DKˉD^*\bar K-DKˉD\bar K^* coupled-channel system are investigated with the one-meson exchange potentials, where both vector and pseudoscalar mesons are considered as exchange particles. We find an S-wave virtual state with mass M=2487M=2487 MeV, and a resonance with M=2759M=2759 and width Γ=18\Gamma=18 MeV. In the DKˉD^* \bar K invariant mass distribution, the virtual state appears as a cusp at the DKˉD^*\bar K threshold, while the resonance potentially manifests as a dip. In particular, we take into account the DKˉπD\bar K \pi three-body dynamics due to the on-shell pion exchange and the finite decay width for Kˉ\bar K^*.
