Abstract

We investigate the SS-wave triply heavy tetraquark systems, including the QQ()Qˉ()qˉQQ^{(\prime)}\bar Q^{(\prime)}\bar q and QQ()Qˉ()sˉQQ^{(\prime)}\bar Q^{(\prime)}\bar s configurations (Q()=c,bQ^{(\prime)} = c, b, q=u,dq = u, d) with spin-parity JP=0+J^P = 0^+, 1+1^+, and 2+2^+, within the framework of the constituent quark model. We construct the wave functions for these systems, incorporating complete color-spin wave functions and spatial wave functions with three different Jacobi coordinate configurations. We use complex scaling and Gaussian expansion method to solve the complex-scaled four-body Schr\"{o}dinger equation and obtain possible exotic states. To analyze the spatial properties of the tetraquark states, we compute the root-mean-square (rms) radii, which help distinguish between meson-molecular and compact tetraquark states. We find that there do not exist any bound states in the QQ()Qˉ()qˉQQ^{(\prime)}\bar Q^{(\prime)}\bar q and QQ()Qˉ()sˉQQ^{(\prime)}\bar Q^{(\prime)}\bar s systems. However, we identify a possible molecular resonant state T3c,2(5819)T_{3c,2}(5819) in the cccˉqˉcc\bar c\bar q system with spin-parity JP=2+J^P = 2^+, which lies slightly above the J/ψD(2S)J/\psi D^*(2S) threshold and has a large rms radius around 2.2 fm. Furthermore, we obtain a series of compact resonant states, some of which exhibit spatial structure similar to the tritium atom in QED, where the light quark circles around the cluster of three heavy quarks. The lowest resonant state in the triply heavy systems has a mass of 56345634 MeV, a width of 1616 MeV and spin-parity JP=1+J^P=1^+. We suggest searching for this state in the J/ψDJ/\psi D, ηcD\eta_c D^*, and J/ψDJ/\psi D^* decay channels.
