Abstract

With a quark level interaction, we give a unified description of the loosely bound molecular systems composed of the heavy flavor hadrons (Dˉ,Dˉ)(\bar{D},\bar{D}^*), (Λc,Σc,Σc)(\Lambda_c, \Sigma_c, \Sigma_c^*), and (Ξc,Ξc,Ξc)(\Xi_c, \Xi_c^\prime,\Xi_c^*). Using the PcP_c states as inputs to fix the interaction strength of light quark-quark pairs, we reproduce the observed PcsP_{cs} and Tcc+T_{cc}^+ states and predict another narrow Tcc+T_{cc}^{\prime+} state with quantum numbers [DD]J=1I=0[D^*D^*]_{J=1}^{I=0}. If we require a satisfactory description of the Tcc+T_{cc}^+ and PcP_c states simultaneously, our framework prefers the assignments of the Pc(4440)P_{c}(4440) and Pc(4457)P_{c}(4457) as the [ΣcDˉ]J=1/2I=1/2[\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*]_{J=1/2}^{I=1/2} and [ΣcDˉ]J=3/2I=1/2[\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*]_{J=3/2}^{I=1/2} states, respectively. We propose the isospin criterion to explain naturally why the experimentally observed TccT_{cc}, PcP_c, and PcsP_{cs} molecular candidates prefer the lowest isospin numbers. We also predict the loosely bound states for the bottom di-hadrons.
