Abstract

We systematically explore the trimeson states BˉBˉBˉ\bar{B}\bar{B}^*\bar{B}^* with various isospin-spin configurations in the quark model by solving exactly the six-body Schr\"{o}dinger equations with the Gaussian expansion method. The configuration [[BˉBˉ]01Bˉ]120\left[[\bar{B} \bar{B}^*]^1_0\bar{B}^*\right]^0_{\frac{1}{2}} is not only approximately 10.2 MeV lower than the threshold of its constituent particles but also about 0.2 MeV below that of the compact tetraquark state [BˉBˉ]01[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_0 and Bˉ\bar{B}^*. This configuration manifests a loose two-body bound state composed of [BˉBˉ]01[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_0 and Bˉ\bar{B}^* , with a size of around 4.75 fm. In contrast, the configurations [[BˉBˉ]11Bˉ]120\left[[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_1\bar{B}^*\right]^0_{\frac{1}{2}}, [Bˉ[BˉBˉ]10]120\left[\bar{B}[\bar{B}^*\bar{B}^*]^0_1\right]^0_{\frac{1}{2}}, and [[BˉBˉ]11Bˉ]121\left[[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_1\bar{B}^*\right]^1_{\frac{1}{2}} exhibit binding energies of less than 1 MeV relative to their constituent particles, establishing a loose three-meson bound state. After coupling three configurations with 120\frac{1}{2}0^-, the trimeson state with 120\frac{1}{2}0^- remains a loosely two-body bound state with a binding energy around 1.5 MeV and a huge size of 2.20 fm, in which the configuration [[BˉBˉ]01Bˉ]120\left[[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_0\bar{B}^*\right]^0_{\frac{1}{2}} is dominant, contributing 80%80\% to the overall probability. Among the four bound configurations, the σ\sigma-meson exchange plays a decisive role. The meson pair [BˉBˉ]01[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_0, resembling the short-range strong correlated pp-nn pair in nuclear physics, prevails over other types of meson pairs. The meson pair [BˉBˉ]01[\bar{B}\bar{B}^*]^1_0 not only contributes to the binding mechanisms but also influences the spatial structures of those stable trimeson configurations.
