Abstract
Building upon the discoveries of the $Ξ^{++}_{cc}(3621)$ and $T^{+}_{cc}(3875)$, we undertake a comprehensive investigation into the mass spectra, internal structures, and decay properties of doubly-charmed pentaquarks. By treating the two light quarks as a tightly bound diquark, the five-body system reduces to a four-body heavy quark-heavy quark-diquark-antiquark configuration. Within the constituent quark model framework, we calculate their mass spectra in the range of 4.7-5.4 GeV and corresponding internal mass contributions via the Gaussian expansion method. The root-mean-square radii, typically between 1.1-1.6 fm, indicate compact spatial structures. Furthermore, we also calculate the rearrangement decay widths via the quark-interchange model, finding that all states are unstable and decay into a singly-charmed baryon and a singly-charmed meson. Several narrow resonances have been identified, some of which have a total width even below 10 MeV. We hope that our study could provide valuable guidance for future theoretical investigations and experimental searches targeting doubly-charmed pentaquarks.
