Compositeness of near-threshold states in charged hadronic systems

Abstract

We quantify the internal structure of near-threshold bound, virtual, and resonance states in systems where Coulomb and short-range interactions coexist by evaluating the compositeness. Using the Coulomb-modified effective range expansion, we derive an expression for the compositeness in terms of the eigenenergy and Coulomb effective range in the weak-binding limit. We then apply the formulation to several near-threshold states in hadronic and nuclear systems, including $pp$, $\alpha\alpha$, $\Omega^{-}\Omega^{-}$, $\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\Omega_{ccc}^{++}$, $\Xi^{-}\alpha$, and $\Omega^{-}p$.
