Abstract

Motivated by the observation of the JP=1+J^P = 1^+ resonance X(2085)X(2085) in the pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} system by the BESIII collaboration, we studied the molecular states of hexaquarks pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} and pΣˉp\bar{\Sigma} with baryon-antibaryon structures within the framework of the QCD sum rules. Non-perturbative contributions up to dimension 13 were considered in our analysis. The results indicate the existence of six possible molecular states pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} and pΣˉp\bar{\Sigma}, with quantum numbers JP=0,0+,1J^{P}=0^{-}, 0^{+}, 1^{-}. Consequently, the current sum rule results do not support the interpretation of X(2085)X(2085) as a pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} or pΣˉp\bar{\Sigma} molecular state. On the other hand, we find that the masses of the proposed pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} and pΣˉp\bar{\Sigma} structures with JP=1J^{P} = 1^{-} are in the vicinity of observed X(2075)X(2075), which implies that the nature of this state needs more invistigations. Moreover, the possible decay modes of the concerned hexaquark states are analyzed.
