Inverse problem in femtoscopic correlation functions: the $$T_{cc}(3875)^+$$ state

Abstract We study the inverse problem of analyzing femtoscopic correlation functions with an efficient tool to extract the maximum information possible about the interaction between the involved coupled-channel hadrons, and derive the existence of possible bound states. The method is flexible enough to accommodate non-molecular components and the effect of missing channels relevant for the interaction. We apply the method to realistic correlation functions for the $$D^{*+}D^0$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mo>∗</mml:mo> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and $$D^{*0}D^+$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mo>∗</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> pairs derived consistently from the properties of the $$T_{cc}(3875)^+$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>cc</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3875</mml:mn> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .
