| contents | We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the masses of possible baryonic and mesonic configurations containing a single top quark. Our analysis includes the baryons $Λ_t$, $Ξ_t$, $Σ_t$, $Ξ'_t$, $Ω_t$, $Ω_{tcc}$, and $Ω_{tbb}$, together with the pseudoscalar and vector mesons $T_{t\bar n}^{\mathrm{Ps}}$, $T_{t\bar n}^{\mathrm{V}}$, $T_{t\bar s}^{\mathrm{Ps}}$, $T_{t\bar s}^{\mathrm{V}}$, $T_{t\bar c}^{\mathrm{Ps}}$, $T_{t\bar c}^{\mathrm{V}}$, $T_{t\bar b}^{\mathrm{Ps}}$, and $T_{t\bar b}^{\mathrm{V}}$. Motivated in part by recent experimental indications of a pseudoscalar enhancement near the $t\bar t$ threshold reported by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations, this study is carried out within the framework of two-point QCD sum rules to determine the corresponding ground-state masses by including perturbative contributions and nonperturbative condensates up to dimension eight. For several channels, including the $Λ_t$, $Ξ_t$, $Σ_t$, $T_{t\bar b}^{\mathrm{Ps}}$, and $T_{t\bar b}^{\mathrm{V}}$ states, the extracted central masses lie slightly below the corresponding sums of constituent quark masses, which may indicate nontrivial binding dynamics or near-threshold multiquark configurations within the uncertainties of the method. Moreover, when the full theoretical uncertainties are taken into account in a conservative manner, a larger subset of the investigated states exhibits a consistent tendency toward weak binding behavior, suggesting that the possibility of loosely bound configurations cannot be excluded for most of the considered baryonic and mesonic channels. These results provide useful first-principles theoretical benchmarks for possible top-containing hadronic systems, which may support future searches at the LHC, along with sensitivity analyses for next-generation facilities such as the FCC. |
