Scalar molecules $\eta _{b}B_{c}^{-}$ and $\eta _{c}B_{c}^{+} $ with asymmetric quark contents
Abstract
The hadronic scalar molecules and with asymmetric quark contents and are explored by means of the QCD sum rule method. Their masses and current couplings are calculated using the two-point sum rule approach. The obtained results show that they are strong-interaction unstable particles and transform to ordinary mesons' pairs. The molecule dissociates through the process . The decays and are dominant modes for the molecule . The full decay widths of the molecules and are estimated using these decay channels, as well as ones generated by the annihilation of and quarks in and , respectively. The QCD three-point sum rule method is employed to find partial widths all of these channels. This approach is required to evaluate the strong couplings at the molecule-meson-meson vertices under consideration. The mass and width of the molecule , and and in the case of offer valuable guidance for experimental searches at existing facilities.
