Abstract

We suggest to study the production mechanism and some details of the production properties to probe the structure of the $DD\ensuremath{\pi}$ resonance ${T}_{cc}$ recently observed by the LHCb Collaboration. If the resonance is produced as a four-quark state, one can find the corresponding signals via measurements on the production properties which are the same as those of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{cc}$, i.e., the similarity of ${T}_{cc}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{cc}$ in the kinematics spectra, in the baryon number enhancement, and in the string effect, etc. The color connection of the preconfinement cluster in which the cc diquark pair hadronize to the ${T}_{cc}$ or ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{cc}$ plays the key role for their similarity. Moreover, the production cross section of ${T}_{cc}$ in various rapidity regions and the production ratio between ${T}_{cc}$ to a different isospin state ${T}_{cc}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ (if it exists) are also important and clear tests. On the other hand, if ${T}_{cc}$ is produced as a hadron molecule, the measurement on the momentum correlation of $D{D}^{*}$ can be a key judgement, since it determines the production ratio. From the present available information, the calculated cross section with nonrelativistic hadron molecule model is about an order of magnitude lower than the experimental measurement.
