Abstract

The doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$ has been reported by the LHCb experiment in 2022, and a lot of theoretical studies has been conducted. The small binding energy measured from $D^{\ast + }D^0$ threshold indicates that $T_{cc}$ is a $DD^\ast$ molecule. On the other hand, the superflavor symmetry, which relates heavy antiquarks to heavy diquarks, provides a useful framework for predicting the existence of partner exotic hadrons associated with $T_{cc}$. By replacing $\bar{D}^{(*)}$ with $\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ within this symmetry, $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ are expected to form partner structures of $T_{cc}$. In this paper, we investigate bound and resonant states of $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ based on the one boson exchange potential, where $\pi$, $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\sigma$ are considered as bosons. The cutoff parameter and the coupling constants for $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}\Xi_{cc}^{(*)}$ are taken to be the same as those for $T_{cc}$ due to superflavor symmetry. We also discuss the $\sigma$ coupling constant, which is uncertain, dependence of these mass spectra. A lot of bound and resonant states with some quantum numbers are obtained for each $\sigma$ coupling constant, but these mass spectra depend on the $\sigma$ coupling constant significantly.
