    Doubly Charmed Tetraquark from Lattice QCD near Physical Point

    The doubly charmed tetraquark recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration is studied on the basis of -flavor lattice QCD simulations of the system with nearly physical pion mass MeV. The interaction of in the isoscalar and -wave channel, derived from the hadronic spacetime correlation by the HAL QCD method, is attractive for all distances and leads to a near-threshold virtual state with a pole position keV and a large scattering length . The virtual state is shown to evolve into a loosely bound state as decreases to its physical value by using a potential modified to MeV based on the pion-exchange interaction. Such a potential is found to give a semiquantitative description of the LHCb data on the mass spectrum. Future study is necessary to perform physical-point simulations with the isospin-breaking and open three-body-channel effects taken into account.

    BCS-BCS crossover between atomic and molecular superfluids in a Bose-Fermi mixture

    Yixin Guo · Hiroyuki Tajima · Tetsuo Hatsuda · Haozhao Liang

    We theoretically examine a continuity between atomic and molecular Fermi superfluids in a Bose-Fermi mixture near the Feshbach resonance. Considering a two-channel model describing the Feshbach resonance between Fermi and Bose atoms, we have constructed the mean-field framework based on the perturbative expansion of the Feshbach atom-dimer coupling. The resulting effective Hamiltonian exhibits not only the continuity between atom-atom to molecule-molecule Cooper pairings but also becomes equivalent to the two-band-superconductor model with Suhl-Matthias-Walker type pair-exchange coupling. We demonstrate how these atomic and molecular Fermi superfluids coexist within the two-band-like superfluid theory. The pair-exchange coupling and resulting superfluid gaps are found to be strongly enhanced near the Feshbach resonance due to the interplay between the infrared singularity of Bogoliubov phonons and their Landau damping arising from the coupling with fermions. The pair-exchange coupling can be probed via the observation of the intrinsic Josephson effect between atomic and molecular superfluids.
