Possible $Λ_cΛ_c$ molecular bound state

Possible $Λ_cΛ_c$ hadronic molecule is investigated in the one-pion-exchange potential model. In the study with this model, the heavier meson exchange effects are encoded into a phenomenological cutoff parameter and couplings to the nearby $Σ_cΣ_c$, $Σ_cΣ_c^*$, and $Σ_c^*Σ_c^*$ channels are essential. From the numerical results, we find that a molecular bound state of two $Λ_c$'s is possible, where the tensor force plays a crucial role, although the binding energies are sensitive to the cutoff parameter.
