Abstract

Very recently the LHCb Collaboration reported the discovery of two open charm tetraquark states, and . In the present work, we study the and interaction in the one-boson exchange model and show that the can be understood as a molecule with , or at least it has a large molecular component. On the other hand, the can not be interpreted as a molecular state. Inspired by the discovery of the and the fact that the interaction is strong enough to generate a bound state, we also discuss likely existence of other open charm molecules. In the meson-meson sector, two molecules near the mass thresholds of and with are obtained, and using the heavy quark flavor symmetry their and counterparts are also predicted. In the meson-baryon sector, 7 open charm molecules with near the mass thresholds of naturally appear, as dictated by the heavy quark spin symmetry.
