Abstract

To understand the nature of X(2075)X(2075) and X(2085)X(2085) observed by the BESIII collaboration in the pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} system, we systematically investigate the possibility that these states are compact hexaquark with triquark-antitriquark configurations for the first time. Within the framework of QCD sum rules, the mass spectrum and decay constants of such hexaquark states with quantum numbers JP=0,0+,1,1+J^P=0^-, 0^+, 1^-, 1^+ are studied. Consequently, six independent and nondegenerate hexaquark candidates are obtained, among which two JP=1J^P = 1^- states exhibit masses consistent with X(2075)X(2075), while the two JP=1+J^P = 1^+ states differ markedly from the mass of X(2075)X(2075) or X(2085)X(2085). The remaining two states with JP=0+J^P = 0^+ and 00^- may serve as predictions for potential compact hexaquark configurations. Furthermore, the possible decay modes of these hexaquark states are analyzed, which could be the experimental signatures for their identification.
