Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, in principle describes the interaction of quark and gluon fields. However, due to the self-coupling of the gluons, quarks and gluons are confined into hadrons and cannot exist…
The $DDK$ 3-body system is supposed to be bound due to the strongly attractive interaction between the $D$ meson and the $K$ meson in the isospin zero channel. The minimum quark content of this 3-body bound state is $cc\bar{q}\bar{s}$ with…
