Abstract

Theoretically, some works have proposed the hadronic resonances Σc(2800)\Sigma_{c}(2800) and Λc(2940)+\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+} to be SS-wave DNDN and DND^{*}N molecular candidates, respectively. In the framework of QCD sum rules, we investigate that whether Σc(2800)\Sigma_{c}(2800) and Λc(2940)+\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+} could be explained as the SS-wave DNDN state with JP=12J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-} and the SS-wave DND^{*}N state with JP=32J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}, respectively. Technically, contributions of operators up to dimension 1212 are included in the operator product expansion (OPE). The final results are 3.64±0.33 \mboxGeV3.64\pm0.33~\mbox{GeV} and 3.73±0.35 \mboxGeV3.73\pm0.35~\mbox{GeV} for the SS-wave DNDN state of JP=12J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-} and the SS-wave DND^{*}N state of JP=32J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}, respectively. They are somewhat bigger than the experimental data of Σc(2800)\Sigma_{c}(2800) and Λc(2940)+\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}, respectively. In view of that corresponding molecular currents are constructed from local operators of hadrons, the possibility of Σc(2800)\Sigma_c(2800) and Λc(2940)+\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+} as molecular states can not be arbitrarily excluded merely from these disagreements between molecular masses using local currents and experimental data. But then these results imply that Σc(2800)\Sigma_{c}(2800) and Λc(2940)+\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+} could not be compact states. This may suggest a limitation of the QCD sum rule using the local current to determine whether some state is a molecular state or not. As byproducts, masses for their bottom partners are predicted to be 6.97±0.34 \mboxGeV6.97\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV} for the SS-wave BˉN\bar{B}N state of JP=12J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-} and 6.98±0.34 \mboxGeV6.98\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV} for the SS-wave BˉN\bar{B}^{*}N state of JP=32J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}.
