Internal structure of near-threshold states using compositeness

Abstract

Understanding the internal structure of near-threshold states is essential for revealing the nature of exotic hadrons. Motivated by this challenge, we discuss the clustering structures of near-threshold $s$-wave eigenstates using the compositeness, which characterizes the clustering nature of the states. We show that shallow bound states usually possess cluster-dominant structures, while near-threshold narrow resonances are non-cluster-dominant. Through this study, we establish a theoretical foundation for the threshold energy rule, which has been known empirically.
