Abstract

Motivated by the LHCb Collaboration's observation of the doubly charmed tetraquark state Tcc(3875), we systematically explore the potential existence of doubly charmed pentaquark states using the resonating group method within the quark delocalization color screening model framework. The effective potential of the two involved hadrons and the bound-state dynamics are included in the present work. Moreover, we have also calculated the scattering phase shifts of open channels with channel coupling, aiming to identify possible resonance states. Our estimations suggest that the existence of a bound state with quantum numbers I(JP)=32(52−) and a mass of approximately 4461.7 MeV. Furthermore, five resonance states are predicted through coupled-channels analysis, which are Ξccρ and ΣcD* with I(JP)=12(12−), ΛcD* and Σc*D* with I(JP)=12(32−), and ΣcD* with I(JP)=32(12−), respectively. The existence of these predicted doubly charmed pentaquark states needs to be supported by experimental measurements and discoveries. We hope future experiments will provide evidence for these states.
