Abstract

We attempt to apply the Regge trajectory approach to the doubly heavy triquarks ((Qq)Qˉ)((Qq)\bar{Q}^{\prime}) (Q,Q=b,c;q=u,d,s)(Q,\,Q'=b,\,c; q=u,\,d,\,s). We propose the Regge trajectory relations for the doubly heavy triquarks, and then employ them to crudely estimate the spectra of the triquarks ((cu)cˉ)((cu)\bar{c}), ((cu)bˉ)((cu)\bar{b}), ((cs)cˉ)((cs)\bar{c}), ((cs)bˉ)((cs)\bar{b}), ((bu)cˉ)((bu)\bar{c}), ((bu)bˉ)((bu)\bar{b}), ((bs)cˉ)((bs)\bar{c}), and ((bs)bˉ)((bs)\bar{b}). The λ\lambda-trajectories and the ρ\rho-trajectories are investigated. The triquark Regge trajectory becomes a new and very simple approach for estimating the spectra of triquarks. It also provides a simple method to investigate the ρ\rho-mode and σ\sigma-mode excitations of pentaquarks and hexaquarks in the triquark picutre. Moreover, the spin-averaged masses of the ground states of pentaquarks (cˉ(cu))(cu)(\bar{c}(cu))(cu), (bˉ(bu))(bu)(\bar{b}(bu))(bu) and (cˉ(cu))(bu)(\bar{c}(cu))(bu) are estimated, which are consistent with other theoretical predictions.
