# Possible triple-charm molecular pentaquarks from $\Xi_{cc}D_1/\Xi_{cc}D_2^*$ interactions

## TL;DR

This paper investigates the potential formation of triple-charm molecular pentaquarks from $\, ext{Xi}_{cc} ext{-meson}$ interactions using heavy quark symmetry and a dynamical one-boson-exchange model, predicting possible bound states.

## Contribution

It provides a systematic analysis combining symmetry considerations and dynamical modeling to predict new molecular pentaquark states involving double-charm baryons.

## Key findings

- Possible $ ext{Xi}_{cc}D_1$ bound states with specific quantum numbers.
- Possible $ ext{Xi}_{cc}D_2^*$ bound states with specific quantum numbers.
- Extension of the model suggests molecular candidates for $ ext{Xi}_{cc}ar{D}_1$ and $ ext{Xi}_{cc}ar{D}_2^*$ systems.

## Abstract

In this work, we explore a systematic investigation on $S$-wave interactions between a doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}(3621)$ and a charmed meson in a $T$ doublet $(D_1,\,D_2^*)$. We first analyze the possibility for forming $\Xi_{cc}D_1/\Xi_{cc}D_2^*$ bound states with the heavy quark spin symmetry. Then, we further perform a dynamical study on the $\Xi_{cc}D_1/\Xi_{cc}D_2^*$ interactions within a one-boson-exchange model by considering both the $S$-$D$ wave mixing and coupled channel effect. Finally, our numerical results conform the proposals from the heavy quark spin symmetry analysis: the $\Xi_{cc}D_1$ systems with $I(J^P)=$ $0(1/2^+,\,3/2^+)$ and the $\Xi_{cc}D_2^*$ systems with $I(J^P)=$ $0(3/2^+,\,5/2^+)$ can possibly be loose triple-charm molecular pentaquarks. Meanwhile, we also extend our model to the $\Xi_{cc}\bar{D}_1$ and $\Xi_{cc}\bar D_2^*$ systems, and our results indicate the isoscalars of $\Xi_{cc}\bar{D}_1$ and $\Xi_{cc}\bar{D}_2^*$ can be possible molecular candidates.
