Abstract

In this work, a study of possible molecular states from the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c interaction and their productions in nucleon-antinucleon collision is performed in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. Two bound states with quantum numbers JPC=0+J^{PC}=0^{-+} and 11^{--} are produced with almost the same binding energy from the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c interaction which is described by the light meson exchanges. However, the result does not support the assignment of experimentally observed Y(4630)Y(4630) as a ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c molecular state because it is hard to obtain a peak near experimental mass of the Y(4630)Y(4630) which is far above the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c threshold. The possibility to search these states in nucleon-antinucleon collision is studied by including couplings to NNˉN\bar{N} and D()Dˉ()D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)} channels. The peaks can be found obviously near the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c threshold in the DDˉD^*\bar{D}^* channel at an order of amplitude of 10 μ\mub. Too small width of state with 0+0^{-+} may lead to the difficulty to be observed in experiment. Based on the results in the current work, search for the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c molecular state with 11^{--} is suggested in process NNˉDDˉN\bar{N}\to D^*\bar{D}^*, which is accessible at PˉANDA\rm \bar{P}ANDA.
