Abstract

In this work, we perform a systematic investigation of K()K(){K}^{(*)}{K}^{(*)} interactions within a one-boson-exchange model.The framework incorporates both SDS-D wave mixing and coupled-channel effects, with effective potentials retained up to order O(1/M2)\mathcal{O}(1/M^2). By solving the coupled channel Schr\"{o}dinger equations, we can predict two double-strange molecular candidates: a KKKK^* molecule with I(JP)=0(1+)I(J^P)=0(1^+) and a KKK^*K^* molecule with 0(1+)0(1^+). Our results also show that the recoil corrections play a crucial role in the formation of these two molecular candidates. Furthermore, the SDS-D wave mixing effects contribute positively to the formation process. As a byproduct of this analysis, we extend our study to K()Kˉ()K^{(*)}\bar{K}^{(*)} interactions with the same model. Our findings suggest that the KKˉK\bar{K}^{*} states with 0(1+,1++)0(1^{+-}, 1^{++}) and KKˉK^{*}\bar{K}^{*} states with 0(0++,1+,2++)0(0^{++}, 1^{+-}, 2^{++}) can be promising molecular candidates. Additionally, we analyze the correlations between the constituent mesons, the resulting correlation functions provide additional support for our predictions of both double-strange and strangonium-like molecular states.
