Doubly charmed tetraquarks in a diquark-antidiquark model Xiaojun Yan, Bin Zhong and Ruilin Zhu ∗ Department of Physics and Institute of Theoretical Physics, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210023, China We study the spectra of the doubly charmed tetraquark states in a diquark-antidiquark model. The doubly charmed tetraquark states form an antitriplet and a sextet configurations according to flavor SU(3) symmetry. For the tetraquark state [qq0][¯cc¯], we show the mass for both bound and excited states. The two-body decays of tetraquark states T cc[0+] and T cc[1−−] to charmed mesons have also been studied. In the end,the doubly charmed tetraquarks decays to a charmed baryon and a light baryon have been studied in the SU(3) flavor symmetry. Keywords: Exotic states, tetraquark, diquark I. INTRODUCTION may give an interpretation to such XYZ states [44]. A tetraquark state can also be represented with four quark configuration [qq0][¯cc¯](two charm antiquarksc ¯'s and two Since last decade, Belle, BABAR, BESIII, LHCb and light quarks with up, down and strange quarks u, d and other experimental data have indicated a considerable s), which is called as doubly charmed (C=2) tetraquark number of exotic hadronic resonances with charm or T cc. From a theoretical point of view, T cc may be a more beauty, the so-called XYZ and Pc particles including interesting hadronic state because the two heavy charm tetraquark states and pentaquark states [1{17].
