{Q}{^(('))s}Molecular States in QCD Sum Rules

We systematically investigate the mass spectra of {Qs}{Q（＇）s} molecular states in the framework of QCD sum rules. The interpolating currents representing the molecular states are proposed. Technically, contributions of the operators up to dimension six are included in operator product expansion （OPE）. The masses for molecular states with various {Qs}{Q（＇）s} configurations are presented. The result 4.36 ± 0.08 Ge V for theDs＊ Ds0- ＊ molecular state is consistent with the mass 4350＋4.6 -5.1± 0.7 MeV of the newly observed X（4350）, which could support X（4350） interpreted as a D＊D＊so molecular state.

Analysis of the tetraquark and hexaquark molecular states with the QCD sum rules

In this article,we construct the color-singlet-color-singlet type currents and the color-singlet-colorsinglet-color-singlet type currents to study the scalar D*■*,D*D*tetraquark molecular states and the vector D*D*■*,D*D*D*hexaquark molecular states with the QCD sum rules in details.In calculations,we choose the pertinent energy scales of the QCD spectral densities with the energy scale formula■for the tetraquark and hexaquark molecular states respectively in a consistent way.We obtain stable QCD sum rules for the scalar D*■*,D*D*tetraquark molecular states and the vector D*D*■*hexaquark molecular state,but cannot obtain stable QCD sum rules for the vector D*D*D*hexaquark molecular state.The connected(nonfactorizable)Feynman diagrams at the tree level(or the lowest order)and their induced diagrams via substituting the quark lines make positive contributions for the scalar D*D*tetraquark molecular state,but make negative or destructive contributions for the vector D*D*D*hexaquark molecular state.It is of no use or meaningless to distinguish the factorizable and nonfactorizable properties of the Feynman diagrams in the color space in the operator product expansion so as to interpret them in terms of the hadronic observables,we can only obtain information about the short-distance and long-distance contributions.

Mass spectra of meson molecular states for heavy and light sectors

We obtain mass spectra of the light and heavy nonrelativistic potential model with Coulomb and one pion meson-antimeson （molecular states） sectors by using a exchange potential terms for meson-meson interaction. The digamma decay widths are also obtained for the light sector. We compare our results with available experimental and theoretical data.

Possible molecular states from interactions of charmed strange baryons

In this study,we investigate possible molecular states composed of two charmed strange baryons from theΞ_(c)^((′,∗))Ξ_(c)^((′,∗))interaction and their hidden-charm hidden-strange partners from theΞ_(c)^((′,∗))Ξ¯_(c)^((′,∗))interaction.With the aid of heavy quark chiral effective Lagrangians,the interactions of charmed strange baryons are described with light meson exchanges.The potential kernels are constructed and inserted into the quasipotential Bethe–Salpeter equation.The bound states are produced from most interactions considered,which suggests that strong attractions exist widely between the charmed strange baryons.Experimental search for these types of molecular states is suggested in future high-precision measurements.

Analysis of the Y(4220)and Y(4390)as molecular states with QCD sum rules

In this article, we assign the Y（4390） and Y（4220） to be the vector molecular states D1（2420） and D＊ ＊0（2400）, respectively, and study their masses and pole residues in detail with the QCD sum rules. The present calculations only favor assigning the Y（4390） to be the D1（1^--） molecular state.

Analysis of Pcs(4338) and related pentaquark molecular states via QCD sum rules

In this study,we tentatively identify Pcs(4338)■Ξc molecular state and distinguish the isospins of current operators to explore in detail the■Ξc,■Λc,■sΞc,■sΛc,■*Ξc,■*Λc,■*sΞc,and■*sΛcmolecular states without strange,with strange,and with double strange in the framework of QCD sum rules.The present exploration favors identifying Pcs(4338)(Pcs(4459))as the■Ξc(■*Ξc)molecular state with the spin-parity JP=1/2-(3/2-)and(I,I3)=(0,0),and the observation of their cousins with the isospin(I,I3)=(1,0)J/ψΣ0/ηcΣ0in the invariant mass distributions would decipher their inner structures.

Analysis of hidden-charm pentaquark molecular states with and without strangeness via the QCD sum rules

In this study,we investigate the,D∑c,D≡c',D∑c^(*),D^(*)∑c,D^(*)≡c',D^(*)∑c^(*),and D^(*)≡c'^(*)pentaquark mo-lecular states with and without strangeness via the QCD sum rules in detail,focusing on the light flavor,SU(3),breaking effects,and make predictions for new pentaquark molecular states besides assigning P_(c)(4312),P_(c)(4380),Pc(4440),P_(c)(4457),and P_(cs)(4459)self-consistently.In the future,we can search for these pentaquark molecular states in the decay of ∧_(b)^(0),≡H_(b)^(0),and ≡_(b)^(-) Furthermore,we discuss high-dimensional vacuum condensates in detail.

Study of the heavy molecular states in the quark model with meson exchange interaction

Some charmonium-like resonances such as X（3872） can be interpreted as possible D （＊） （＊） molecular states.Within the quark model,we study the structure of such molecular states and the similar B （＊） （＊） molecular states by taking into account the light meson exchange （π,η,ρ,ω and σ） between two light quarks from different mesons.

Exotic D_(s)^(*)D^(*) molecular states and scqc tetraquark states with J^(P)=0^(+),1^(+),2^(+)

We have calculated the mass spectra for the D_(s)^(*)D^(*) molecular states and scqc tetraquark states with J^(P)=0^(+),1^(+),2^(+).The masses of the axial-vector D_(s)^(*)D^(*),D_(s)^(*)D molecular states and 1_([sc])㊉0_([qc]),0_([sc])©1_([qc])tetraquark states are predicted to be approximately 3.98 GeV,in good agreement with the mass of Z_(cs)(3985)^(-)from BE-SIII.In both the molecular and diquark-antidiquark scenarios,our results suggest that there may exist two almost degenerate states,as the strange partners of X(3872)and Z_(c)(3900).We propose to carefully examine Z_(cs)(3985)in future experiments to verify this.One may also search for more hidden-charm four-quark states with strangeness in not only the open-charm D_(s)^(*)D^(*) channels but also the hidden-charm channels η_(c)K/K^(*),J/ψK/K^(*).

Ξbb and Ωbbb molecular states

Using the vector exchange interaction in the local hidden gauge approach,which in the light quark sector generates the chiral Lagrangians and has produced realistic results for Ωc,Ξc,Ξb and the hidden charm pentaquark states,we study the meson-baryon interactions in the coupled channels that lead to the Ξbb and Ωbbb excited states of the molecular type.We obtain seven states of the Ξbb type with energies between 10408 and 10869 MeV,and one Ωbbb state at 15212 MeV.

Possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of excited charm-strange mesons

The P-wave charm-strange mesons Ds0（2317） and Ds1（2460） lie below the DK and D＊K threshold respectively. They are extremely narrow because their strong decays violate the isospin symmetry. We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of excited charm strange mesons. As a byproduct, we also present the numerical results for the bottonium-like analogue.

A note on the B*B,B*B*,D*,D** molecular states

In the framework of the one-boson-exchange model, we have performed an extensive study of the possible B＊B, B B＊ D＇D, D＇D＊ molecular states with various quantum numbers after considering the S-wave and D-wave mixing. We also discuss the possible experimental research of these interesting states.

Ionic Interactions in Molecular and Liquid States ofPolyvalent Metal Halides

Progress in the development of phenomenological models for the microscoplc interactions in the halides of polyvalent metals is reviewed, with main attention to neutral and ionized molecular states and to the melts of these materials. The following physical problems are discussed: (1)bond bending in the molecules of the alkaline-earth halides, (2) binding of molecular dimers and halogen transfer reactions relevant to the melts of trivalent metal halides, (3) stability of molecular ions in liquid mixtures of polyvalent metal halides and alkali halides, and (4) stabilityof molecular ions and reduced-valence states in molten cryolite under addition of sodium metal.

Molecular Application of a State Specific Multi-Reference Brillouin-Wigner Perturbation Theory

The single reference second order Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory recently developed, which eliminates its size-extensivity error, has been generalized to state-specific, multi-reference （SS-MR）, BWPT2 providing a size-extensive correction to the electron correlation problem for systems that demand the use of a multi-reference function. Illustrative numerical tests of the size-extensivity corrections are made for widely used molecules in their ground states, which are pronounced multi-reference characteristics. We have implemented two-reference and three-reference cases for CH2, BH and bond breaking process in the ground states of HF molecules. The results are compared with the rigorously size-extensive methods such as the M^ller-Plesset perturbation theory, i.e., MP2, full configuration interaction （Full-CI） and allied methods using the same basis sets.

QCD sum rule study of J^(P)=1^(±)exotic states with two heavy quarks in the molecular picture

In this study,the spectroscopic parameters of exotic molecular states composed of mesons containing two heavy quarks(scalar-axial and pseudoscalar-axial meson combinations)are investigated within the QCD sum rules.Our findings reveal that molecular states containing charm quarks do not form bound states,whereas states with b-quarks can form exotic molecular states.This observation has significant implications for understanding the structure of these exotic states.

Exotic ΩΩ dibaryon states in a molecular picture

We investigate the exotic ΩΩ dibaryon states with J^(P)=0^(+)and 2^(+)in a molecular picture.We construct a tensorΩΩmolecular interpolating current and calculate the two-point correlation function within the method of QCD sum rules.Our calculations indicate that the masses of the scalar and tensor dibaryon states are mΩΩ,0^(+)=(3.33±0.51)GeV and mΩΩ,2^(+)=(3.15±0.33)GieV,respectively,which are below the 2mΩthreshold.Within error,these results do not negate the existence of loosely bound molecularΩΩdibaryon states.These exotic strangeness S=-6 and doubly-chargedΩΩdibaryons,if they exist,may be identified in heavy-ion collision processes in the fu-ture.

Ion-Pair Dissociations of Br CN by Electron Impacts

Ion-pair dissociation is an important molecular process and frequently happens when the target molecule is pumped to its electronically superexcited states. In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.

Molecular components in J/ψandρ-πpuzzle

Motivated by the large branching fractions of J/ψ→f0(1710)ω/f0(1710)ϕand the light exotic candidates,we found that there may exist molecular states composed of f0(1710)ωand f0(1710)ϕ,which correspond to X(2440)and X(2680)observed a few decades ago.The branching fractions of X(2440)and X(2680)to various PV and KKω(ϕ)channels were estimated in the molecular scenario.In addition,the large branching fractions of J/ψ→f0(1710)ω/f0(1710)ϕindicate sizable molecular components in the J/ψstate.Thus,we consider J/ψas the superposition of thecc¯(1S),f0(1710)ω,and f0(1710)ϕmolecular states.These molecular components have a significant impact on the light hadron decays of J/ψ,which may elucidate the long standingρ−πpuzzle.

Dynamical study of the possible molecular state X(3872) with the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction

The recently observed X（3872） resonance, which is difficult to assign a conventional cc charmonium state in the quark model, may be interpreted as a molecular state. Such a molecular state is a hidden flavor four quark state because of its charmonium-like quantum numbers. The s-channel one gluon exchange is an interaction which only acts in the hidden flavor multi-quark system. In this paper, we will study the X（3872） and other similiar hidden flavor molecular states in a quark model by taking into account the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction.
