Abstract

Charmed tetraquarks \$T\_cc=(ccud)\$ and \$T\_cs=(csud)\$ are studied through the S-wave meson-meson interactions, \$D\$-\$D\$, \$K\$-\$D\$, \$D\$-\$D^*\$ and \$K\$-\$D^*\$, on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with the pion mass \$m\_\pi \$410, 570 and 700 MeV. For the charm quark, the relativistic heavy quark action is employed to treat its dynamics on the lattice. Using the HAL QCD method, we extract the S-wave potentials in lattice QCD simulations, from which the meson-meson scattering phase shifts are calculated. The phase shifts in the isospin triplet (\$I\$=1) channels indicate repulsive interactions, while those in the \$I=0\$ channels suggest attraction, growing as \$m\_\pi\$ decreases. This is particularly prominent in the \$T\_cc (J^P=1^+,I=0)\$ channel, though neither bound state nor resonance are found in the range \$m\_\pi =410-700\$ MeV. We make a qualitative comparison of our results with the phenomenological diquark picture.
