I. INTRODUCTION

The narrow state Xð3872Þwas discovered in 2003 by theBelle Collaboration [1]. The narrow state was then con-firmed by the CDF [2], D0 [3], and BABAR [4]collaborations.

The investigation of the structure of X is of great sig-nificance, while the structure has not been determined. Upto now, many theoretical interpretations have been pro-posed, including a loosely bound molecule state of D0 �D�0[5,6], a diquark-antidiquark bound state [7,8], a hybridcharmonium state [9], a tetraquark state [10], and a excitedcharmonium state, etc. Originally, the molecule state hy-pothesis was proposed for the reason that the mass of X liesclose to D0 �D�0 threshold. [5,6] In addition, the analysis ofthe decay angular distributions (JPC ¼ 1þþ for Xð3872Þ)[11] strongly sustains this hypothesis, and implies thatD0 �D�0 is the most likely bound state in relative S wave.However, in previous works, [5,6] the effective interactionpotential between D0 and �D�0 is obscure, for it containssome parameters that are dubious, and these heavy mesonsin the molecule state are considered as pointlike objects.

In this work, we assume that the narrow state is amolecule state and calculate the interaction potential be-tween D0 and �D�0 without an extra parameter. If themolecule state is composed of two heavy mesons, it canbe regarded as a two-body system. Because of the parityconservation, in this system the interaction potential be-tween D0 and �D�0 can be derived from one-� exchangeand one-� exchange if only one particle exchange is con-sidered. The internal structure of these heavy mesons istaken into account by the calculated heavy meson formfactor and its effect will be included in the interactionbetween the heavy meson and light meson. In order toobtain the form factor, we calculate the matrix elementof the quark current between heavy meson states, as inRefs. [12,13]. In this approach, first of all, we have to knowthe wave functions of two heavy mesons.

On the other hand, according to the assumption that D0,�D�0 are composed of two constituent quarks, the heavymeson wave functions can be obtained by solving Bethe-Salpeter equation. The Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitudes ofthese heavy mesons were obtained [14–17]. Then fromthese BS amplitudes we can calculate the heavy mesonform factors. The attractive potential between two heavymesons can be calculated from the form factors and theselight meson propagators. Finally, numerically solving therelativistic Schrodinger-like equation with this attractivepotential, we obtain the mass of the molecule state.Our paper is presented as follows: In Sec. II, we show

the quasipotential equation of the Schrodinger type thatdescribes the molecule state. In Sec. III, we show how toget the heavy meson wave functions from the Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes calculated in previous works. Usingthese wave functions, we calculate the heavy meson formfactors. Then the interaction potential and the mass of Xare calculated. Section IV presents our conclusion.

II. THE QUASIPOTENTIAL EQUATION

As above shown, we assume that the Xð3872Þ is amolecule state, a bound state composed of a heavy pseu-doscalar meson (D0) and a heavy vector meson ( �D�0). Inthe quasipotential approach the interaction of two heavymesons in the bound state is described by the moleculestate wave function, which satisfies the quasipotentialequation [18] of the Schrodinger type [19]�

: (4)

The kernel Vðp0;q0;MÞ in Eq. (1) is the quasipotentialoperator of the meson-meson interaction. With the help ofthe off-mass-shell scattering amplitude projected onto thepositive energy states, the quasipotential is constructed. Toconstruct the quasipotential of the meson-meson interac-tion, we consider that the effective interaction is derivedfrom the usual one light meson ð�;�Þ exchange. In thequasipotential approach, it is necessary that the final par-ticle is same to the initial onewhose momentum is differentfrom the former’s, as shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, from theparity conservation, the coupling term in the Lagrangiandescribing the interaction between the heavy and lightmeson cannot contain the one-� exchange. In this paper,we consider one-� exchange and one-� exchange betweentwo heavy mesons to construct the quasipotential.

III. THE INTERACTION BETWEEN HEAVYMESONS

In quark model mesons are the simplest bound statescomposed of a dressed-quark and a dressed-antiquark. TheBethe-Salpeter equation is recognized as a exact method todeal with the two-body bound state, and this method wasused to investigate the properties of heavy mesons [14–17].The Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes of the heavy mesons havethe form: [17]

For heavy pseudoscalar mesons (Pse), the BS amplitudeis

HÞ. Theseparable Ansatz that describes the dressed-quark propa-gators was used to solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation.Though the Ansatz is a phenomenological approximation,its algebraic form combines the effects of confinement anddynamical chiral symmetry breaking with free-particlebehavior at large momentum. [14–17] Therefore, the BSamplitudes obtained with this ansatz contain a great deal ofinformation describing two quarks in mesons, and theseparameters in these amplitudes can not be adjusted freely.In the constituent quark model, the heavy meson D iscomposed of a heavy quark c and a light antiquark �u. Forthe heavy meson D, we take !D ¼ !D� ¼ 1:81 Gev as inRef. [17]. Then the Bethe-Salpeter wave functions areobtained

In Table I we compare our results for masses of moleculestates with other theoretical predictions [23,24]. Then wefind that the molecule states B0 �B0 and B0 �B� lie very closed

to their corresponding thresholds so that it is difficult toobserve these bound states in experiments. This predictionis evidently different from the four-quark state model[23,24] where these bound states are expected to lie con-siderably below the B0 �B0 and B0 �B� thresholds, respec-tively. Besides, we find that the molecule stats B� �B� lieabove the threshold, which is consistent with Ref. [23]. InRefs. [23,24], the authors calculated the masses of theground states of tetraquarks with two bottom quarks as-suming the diquark-antidiquark structure. Therefore, thedifference between our results and the above quoted papersis derived from two distinct models.In this work, assuming the meson-meson structure of the

molecule state, we reduce the relativistic four-body prob-lem to two relativistic two-body problems. We consider thestructure of the heavy mesons and at the same time weapply the form factor of heavy mesons to discuss theinteraction between meson and meson in the moleculestate. The previous works have approximatively solvedthe first problem through solving the Bethe-Salpeter equa-tion about heavy mesons, and their results can be verifiedby experiments. While solving the second problem, weadopt the credible heavy meson wave functions from theseobtained Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes to calculate the inter-action potential between two heavy mesons, which is themain difference between our approach and these otherworks [23,24] investigating the enigmatic mesonXð3872Þ. Besides, we also study the composite states oftwo heavy mesons composed of bottom quark and lightquark.

IV. CONCLUSION

In this work, we assume that the narrow state Xð3872Þ isa molecule state and calculate its mass. These mesons inthe molecule state are considered to have an internalstructure. Using the wave functions of heavy mesons ob-tained from previous works, we calculate heavy-meson-light-meson interaction form factors, which describe theinternal structure of heavy meson. Then the interactionpotential between two heavy mesons is calculated andthe quasipotential equation is solved numerically. Thecalculated mass of the narrow state is consistent with theexperimental value, which gives further grounds for themolecule hypothesis of X. Using this method we inves-tigate the various composite states of heavy mesons B0 andB� in the molecule picture.
