configuration is Q¯ Q¯ qq. This quark configuration has no annihilation process of quark and
antiquark, and hence is a genuinely exotic state. We take a hadronic picture by considering
the molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons, such as DD, DD*, and D* D* for
charm flavor, and BB, BB*, and B* B* for bottom flavor. The interactions between heavy
mesons are derived from the heavy quark effective theory. All molecular states are classified …
