Abstract

In a one-boson-exchange model, we study molecular states of double-charm baryon (Ξcc(3621)\Xi_{cc}(3621)) and a charmed meson (DD and DD^*). Our model indicates that there exist two possible triple-charm molecular pentaquarks, a ΞccD\Xi_{cc}D state with I(JP)=0(1/2)I(J^P)=0(1/2^-) and a ΞccD\Xi_{cc}D^* state with I(JP)=0(3/2)I(J^P)=0(3/2^-). In addition, we also extend our formula to explore ΞccBˉ()\Xi_{cc}\bar{B}^{(*)}, ΞccDˉ()\Xi_{cc}\bar{D}^{(*)}, and ΞccB()\Xi_{cc}B^{(*)} systems, and find more possible heavy flavor molecular pentaquarks, a ΞccBˉ\Xi_{cc}\bar{B} state with I(JP)=0(1/2)I(J^P)=0(1/2^-), a ΞccBˉ\Xi_{cc}\bar{B}^* state with I(JP)=0(3/2)I(J^P)=0(3/2^-), and ΞccDˉ/ΞccB\Xi_{cc}\bar{D}^*/\Xi_{cc}B^* states with I(JP)=0(1/2)I(J^P)=0(1/2^-). Experimental search for these predicted triple-charm molecular pentaquarks is encouraged.
