$T^+_{cc}$ and its partners
Abstract
Inspired by the signal discovered by the LHCb Collaboration, we systematically investigate the doubly heavy tetraquark states with the molecule configuration ( and , , and ) in a nonrelativistic quark model. The model involves a color screening confinement potential, meson-exchange interactions and one-gluon-exchange interactions. The state with is a very loosely bound deuteron-like state with a binding energy around 0.34 MeV and a huge size of 4.32 fm. Both the meson exchange force and the coupled channel effect play a pivotal role. Without the meson exchange force, there does not exist the molecular state. In strong contrast, the QCD valence bond forms clearly in the system when we turn off the meson-exchange force, which is very similar to the hydrogen molecule in QED. Moreover, the becomes a helium-like QCD-atom if we increase the bottom quark mass by a factor of three. Especially, the states with , with and and the -spin antisymmetric states with , with and can form a compact, hydrogen molecule-like or deuteron-like bound state with different binding dynamics. The high-spin states with and with can decay into -wave and although they are below the thresholds and , respectively. The isospin and -spin symmetric states are unbound. We also calculate their magnetic moments and axial charges.
