Predicting B(*)D̅(*) states from a reanalysis of lattice QCD data
Abstract
We reanalyze the lattice QCD data for the isoscalar b̅c̅ ud systems with JP=0+ and 1+ at mπ≃ 220 MeV, incorporating both short- and long-range interactions constrained by heavy-quark spin and chiral symmetries. Using the interaction fitted to the lattice results, we predict a spectrum of isoscalar B(*)D̅(*) molecular states with quantum numbers JP=0+, 1+, and 2+. The predicted JP=0+ and 1+ BD̅ and B*D̅ bound states are consistent with the lattice results. Furthermore, the two resonances reported by the lattice collaboration in the JP=0+ and 1+ b̅c̅ ud channels can be naturally interpreted as B*D̅* and BD̅* hadronic molecules, respectively. We also predict two previously unreported B*D̅* states with JP=1+ and 2+: a bound state and a shallow state whose pole may correspond to either a virtual state or a bound state, respectively. Our results provide a unified interpretation of the lattice spectrum and highlight the interplay between short- and long-range interactions in the dynamics of the B(*)D̅(*) systems.
