Implication of the existence of $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ $\bar{D}_sDK$ bound state on nature of $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ and new configuration of exotic state

TL;DR

This paper predicts a new three-body hadronic molecule with specific quantum numbers using experimental data, which could be observed in future high-luminosity collider experiments, shedding light on exotic hadron configurations.

Contribution

It introduces a model-independent method to predict a novel $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ $ar{D}_sDK$ bound state as a three-body hadronic molecule based on experimental $DK$ potential data.

Findings

Predicted a $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ $ar{D}_sDK$ bound state with mass ~4310 MeV.

State decouples from conventional charmonia and two-body molecules.

Suggests $B^+ o D^{* ext{±}} D^{ ext{∓}} K^+$ decays as promising search channels.

Abstract

The discovery of numerous new hadrons over the past two decades has provided unprecedented opportunities to understand the non-perturbative QCD and hadron structure. Hadronic molecule picture plays an important role in explaining these new hadrons and enriching the configurations of exotic hadronic states. In this letter, using the model-independent $DK$ potential extracted from the relevant experimental data, a $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ $\bar{D}_sDK$ three-body hadronic molecule is predicted with a mass of $4310^{+14}_{-24}$ MeV. This state shows decoupling to conventional $c\bar{c}$ charmonia or the $\bar{D}_s D_{s0}^*(2317)$ two-body molecular state. It can be regarded as a compelling three-body hadronic molecular candidate. We further demonstrate that the $B^+ \to {D}^{*\pm}D^\mp K^+$ decays could be promising channels for searching for the predicted state in future high-luminosity LHCb runs.
