Toward the quark mass dependence of $T_{cc}^+$ from lattice QCDCollins, Sara (Avtor) Nefediev, Alexey (Avtor) Padmanath, M. (Avtor) Prelovšek, Saša (Avtor) physics of elementary particleslattice QCDThe $DD^*$ scattering phase shifts in the $T_{cc}^+ = cc\bar{u}\bar{d}$ channel are extracted from lattice QCD for five different charm quark masses and a fixed light-quark mass corresponding to $m_{\pi} \simeq$ 280  MeV. The phase shifts are analyzed employing two approaches: effective range expansion and Lippmann-Schwinger equation derived in the effective field theory. In the latter case, the results imply an attraction at short range parametrized by contact terms and a slight repulsion at long range mediated by one-pion exchange with $m_{\pi} > m_{D^*}-m_D$. The poles in the amplitude across the complex energy plane are extracted and their trajectories are discussed as the charm quark mass is varied. Two complex conjugate poles corresponding to a resonance below threshold are found for $m_c$ close to the physical value. They turn into a pair of virtual states at the largest $m_c$ studied. With further increasing $m_c$, one virtual pole representing $T_{cc}^+$ is expected to move towards the two-body threshold and turn into a bound state. The light-quark mass dependence of the $T_{cc}^+$ pole is briefly discussed using the data on $DD^*$ scattering from other lattice collaborations. 20242024-05-22 14:49:47Članek v reviji156370sl
