Compositeness of Tcc and X(3872) with decay and coupled-channel effects

The compositeness is useful to quantitatively characterize the internal structure of states whether it is composite dominant (molecular dominant) or not. There have been many studies to analyze the internal structure of the exotic hadrons with the compositeness, in particular, for weakly bound states [1,2]. It is known that the near-threshold states are dominated by the molecular structure in the limit of the vanishing binding energy [3]. However, the decay and coupled-channel effects modify the compositeness as shown in Ref.[1], and therefore the composite nature of the near-threshold states with finite binding might be affected by these contributions.

We study the compositeness of weakly bound states with the effective field theory from the viewpoint of the low-energy universality [4]. We introduce a model with the coupling of the single-channel scattering to the bare state, and study the compositeness of the bound state by varying the bare state energy. In contrast to the naive expectation from the universality, we demonstrate that a non-composite state can always be realized even with the small binding energy. At the same time, however, it is shown that a fine tuning is necessary to obtain the non-composite weakly bound state. In other words, the probability to find a model with the composite dominant state becomes larger with the decrease of the binding energy in accordance with the low-energy universality. For the application to the exotic hadrons, we then discuss the modification of the compositeness by the decay and coupled-channel effects. We quantitatively show that these contributions suppress the compositeness, because of the increase of the fraction of other components. Finally, as the examples of the near-threshold exotic hadrons, the structure of Tcc and X(3872) is studied by evaluating the compositeness. We find the importance of the coupled-channel and decay contributions for the structure of Tcc and X(3872), respectively.
