Abstract

The proximity of Z+(4430){\rm Z}^+(4430) to the DDˉ1{\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1} threshold suggests that it may be a DDˉ1{\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1} molecular state. The DDˉ1{\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1} system has been studied dynamically from quark model, and state mixing effect is taken into account by solving the multichannel Schro¨\ddot{\rm o}dinger equation numerically. We suggest the most favorable quantum number is JP=0{\rm J^{P}=0^{-}}, if future experiments confirm Z+(4430){\rm Z}^+(4430) as a loosely bound molecule state. More precise measurements of Z+(4430){\rm Z}^+(4430) mass and width, partial wave analysis are helpful to understand its structure. The analogous heavy flavor mesons Zbb+{\rm Z}^{+}_{bb} and Zbc++{\rm Z}^{++}_{bc} are studied as well, and the masses predicted in our model are in agreement with the predictions from potential model and QCD sum rule. We further apply our model to the DDˉ{\rm D\bar{D}^{*}} and DD{\rm DD^{*}} system. We find the exotic DD{\rm DD^{*}} bound molecule doesn't exist, while the 1++1^{++} DDˉ{\rm D\bar{D}^{*}} bound state solution can be found only if the screening mass μ\mu is smaller than 0.17 GeV. The state mixing effect between the molecular state and the conventional charmonium should be considered to understand the nature of X(3872).
