Abstract

Very recently the LHCb Collaboration reported the discovery of two open charm tetraquark states, X0(2866)X_{0}(2866) and X1(2904)X_{1}(2904). In the present work, we study the D()D^{(\ast)} and Kˉ()\bar{K}^{(\ast)} interaction in the one-boson exchange model and show that the X0(2866)X_{0}(2866) can be understood as a DKˉD^{\ast}\bar{K}^{\ast} molecule with I(JP)=0(0+)I(J^{P})=0(0^{+}), or at least it has a large molecular component. On the other hand, the X1(2904)X_{1}(2904) can not be interpreted as a molecular state. Inspired by the discovery of the X0(2866)X_0(2866) and the fact that the DKˉD^*\bar{K}^* interaction is strong enough to generate a bound state, we also discuss likely existence of other open charm molecules. In the meson-meson sector, two molecules near the mass thresholds of DDDD^{\ast} and DDD^{\ast}D^{\ast} with I(JP)=0(1+)I(J^{P})=0(1^{+}) are obtained, and using the heavy quark flavor symmetry their BˉBˉ\bar{B}\bar{B}^{\ast} and BˉBˉ\bar{B}^{\ast}\bar{B}^{\ast} counterparts are also predicted. In the meson-baryon sector, 7 open charm molecules with I=1/2I=1/2 near the mass thresholds of D()Σc()D^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)} naturally appear, as dictated by the heavy quark spin symmetry.
