We have calculated the mass spectra for the $bar{D}_s^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ molecular states and $scbar qbar c$ tetraquark states with $J^P=0^+, 1^+, 2^+$. The masses of the axial-vector $bar{D}_sD^{*}$, $bar{D}_s^{*}D$ molecular states and $mathbf{1}_{[sc]} oplus mathbf{0}_{[bar q bar{c}]}$, $mathbf{0}_{[sc]} oplus mathbf{1}_{[bar q bar{c}]}$ tetraquark states are predicted to be around 3.98 GeV, which are in good agreement with the mass of $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ from BESIII cite{besiii2020Zcs}. In both the molecular and diquark-antidiquark pictures, our results suggest that there may exist two almost degenerate states, as the strange partners of the $X(3872)$ and $Z_c(3900)$. We propose to carefully examine the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ in future experiments to verify this. One may also search for more hidden-charm four-quark states with strangeness not only in the open-charm $bar{D}_s^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ channels, but also in the hidden-charm channels $eta_c K/K^ast$, $J/psi K/K^ast$.
We have studied the masses for fully open-flavor tetraquark states $bcbar{q}bar{s}$ and $scbar{q}bar{b}$ with quantum numbers $J^{P}=0^{+},1^{+}$. We systematically construct all diquark-antiquark interpolating currents and calculate the two-point correlation functions and spectral densities in the framework of QCD sum rule method. Our calculations show that the masses are about $7.1-7.2$ GeV for the $bcbar{q}bar{s}$ tetraquark states and $7.0-7.1$ GeV for the $scbar{q}bar{b}$ tetraquarks. The masses of $bcbar{q}bar{s}$ tetraquarks are below the thresholds of $bar{B}_{s}D$ and $bar{B}_{s}^{*}D$ final states for the scalar and axial-vector channels respectively. The $scbar{q}bar{b}$ tetraquark states with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ lie below the $B_{c}^{+}K^{*}$ and $B_{s}^{*}D$ thresholds. Such low masses for these possible tetraquark states indicate that they can only decay via weak interaction and thus are very narrow and stable.
We use the Laplace/Borel sum rules (LSR) and the finite energy/local duality sum rules (FESR) to investigate the non-strange $udbar ubar d$ and hidden-strange $usbar ubar s$ tetraquark states with exotic quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{+-}$ . We systematically construct all eight possible tetraquark currents in this channel without covariant derivative operator. Our analyses show that the $udbar ubar d$ systems have good behaviour of sum rule stability and expansion series convergence in both the LSR and FESR analyses, while the LSR for the $usbar ubar s$ states do not associate with convergent OPE series in the stability regions and only the FESR can provide valid results. We give the mass predictions $1.43pm0.09$ GeV and $1.54pm0.12$ GeV for the $udbar ubar d$ and $usbar ubar s$ tetraquark states, respectively. Our results indicate that the $0^{+-}$ isovector $usbar ubar s$ tetraquark may only decay via weak interaction mechanism, e.g. $X_{usbar{u}bar{s}}to Kpipi$, since its strong decays are forbidden by kinematics and the symmetry constraints on the exotic quantum numbers. It is predicted to be very narrow, if it does exist. The $0^{+-}$ isoscalar $usbar ubar s$ tetraquark is also predicted to be not very wide because its dominate decay mode $X_{usbar{u}bar{s}}tophipipi$ is in $P$-wave.
In this work, we study systematically the mass splittings of the $qqbar{Q}bar{Q}$ ($q=u$, $d$, $s$ and $Q=c$, $b$) tetraquark states with the color-magnetic interaction by considering color mixing effects and estimate roughly their masses. We find that the color mixing effect is relatively important for the $J^P=0^+$ states and possible stable tetraquarks exist in the $nnbar{Q}bar{Q}$ ($n=u$, $d$) and $nsbar{Q}bar{Q}$ systems either with $J=0$ or with $J=1$. Possible decay patterns of the tetraquarks are briefly discussed.
In the present work, we construct the color-singlet-color-singlet type four-quark currents to investigate the $D_sbar{D}_{s1}$ and $D_s^*bar{D}_{s0}^*$ tetraquark molecular states with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ and $1^{-+}$ via the QCD sum rules, and obtain satisfactory results. We can search for the $D_sbar{D}_{s1}$ and $D_s^*bar{D}_{s0}^*$ tetraquark molecular states with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ and $1^{-+}$ at the BESIII and Belle II in the future.
In this work, we preform a systematic investigation about hidden heavy and doubly heavy molecular states from the $D^{(*)}bar{D}^{(*)}/B^{(*)}bar{B}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}/bar{B}^{(*)}bar{B}^{(*)}$ interactions in the quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation (qBSE) approach. With the help of the Lagrangians with heavy quark and chiral symmetries, interaction potentials are constructed within the one-boson-exchange model in which we include the $pi$, $eta$, $rho$, $omega$ and $sigma$ exchanges, as well as $J/psi$ or $Upsilon$ exchange. Possible bound states from the interactions considered are searched for as the pole of scattering amplitude. The results suggest that experimentally observed states, $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(4020)$, $Z_b(10610)$, and $Z_b(10650)$, can be related to the $Dbar{D}^{*}$, $D^*bar{D}^{*}$, $Bbar{B}^{*}$, and $B^*bar{B}^{*}$ interactions with quantum numbers $I^G(J^P)=1^+(1^{+})$, respectively. The $Dbar{D}^{*}$ interaction is also attractive enough to produce a pole with $0^+(0^+)$ which is related to the $X(3872)$. Within the same theoretical frame, the existence of $Dbar{D}$ and $Bbar{B}$ molecular states with $0(0^+)$ are predicted. The possible $D^*bar{D}^*$ molecular states with $0(0^+, 1^+, 2^+)$ and $1(0^+)$ and their bottom partners are also suggested by the calculation. In the doubly heavy sector, no bound state is produced from the $DD/bar{B}bar{B}$ interaction while a bound state is found with $0(1^+)$ from $DD^*/bar{B}bar{B}^*$ interaction. The $D^*D^*/bar{B}^*bar{B}^*$ interaction produces three molecular states with $0(1^+)$, $0(2^+)$ and $1(2^+)$.
