We calculate the mass of tetraquark states of all $qqbar q bar q$ quark configurations in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and one-gluon exchange spin-spin coupling are employed. The three coupling parameters for the Cornell-like potential and one-gluon exchange spin-spin coupling are proposed mass-dependent in accordance with Lattice QCD data, and all model parameters are predetermined by studying light, charmed and bottom mesons. The theoretical predictions for light tetraquarks are compared with the observed exotic meson states in the light-unflavored meson sector, and tentative assignments are suggested. The work suggests that the $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ might be ground light tetraquark states with $J=0$.
We address the question whether the lightest scalar mesons sigma and kappa are tetraquarks, as is strongly supported by many phenomenological studies. We present a search for possible light tetraquark states with J^PC=0^++ and I=0, 1/2, 3/2, 2 on the lattice. The spectrum is determined using the generalized eigenvalue method with a number of tetraquark interpolators at the source and the sink. In all the channels, we unavoidably find lowest scattering states pi(k)pi(-k) or K(k)pi(-k) with back-to-back momentum k=0,2*pi/L,.. . However, we find an additional light state in the I=0 and I=1/2 channels, which may be related to the observed resonances sigma and kappa with a strong tetraquark component. In the exotic repulsive channels I=2 and I=3/2, where no resonance is observed, we find no light state in addition to the scattering states.
The masses of tetraquark states of all $qcbar q bar c$ and $ccbar c bar c$ quark configurations are evaluated in a constituent quark model, where the Cornell-like potential and one-gluon exchange spin-spin coupling are employed. All model parameters are predetermined by comparing the theoretical and experimental masses of light, charmed and bottom mesons. The theoretical predictions of the charmoniumlike tetraquarks are compared with the observed $XYZ$ states, and one tentative assignment is suggested. The work suggests that the $X(6900)$ observed by LHCb is likely to be the first radial excited fully-charm tetraquark state with $J^{PC} = 1^{+-}$ in the $bar 3_c otimes 3_c$ configuration, and the ground and second radial excited states of fully-charm tetraquark are around $6494$ and $7253$ MeV respectively.
The mass spectra of all-charm tetraquark states with the [cc][$bar{c}bar{c}$] quark configuration are investigated. The coulomb plus linear potential is used in conjunction with the relativistic mass correction term $mathcal{O}(frac{1}{m})$. To determine the fitting parameters for all-charm tetraquarks states [cc][$bar{c}bar{c}$], we first calculate the mass spectra of charmonia [c$bar{c}$] and its decay constants ($f^{2}_{P/V}$). We estimated the masses of the tetraquark states in their ground and radially excited states. For mass spectra of tetraquark states, we also included spin-spin, spin-orbital, and tensor interactions. The mass spectra of charmonia produced in this study are reasonably consistent with experimental and theoretical predictions made by others, whilst the mass spectra of the tetraquark states are consistent with previous theoretical predictions. We propose that the X(6900) state, which has a mass range of 6.2 - 6.9 GeV and was recently detected by LHCb, has the quantum numbers $0^{-+}$, $1^{-+}$, $2^{-+}$ and belongs to the P-wave of the all-cham tetraquark state.
The recent confirmation of the charged charmonium like resonance Z(4430) by the LHCb experiment strongly suggests the existence of QCD multi quarks bound states. Some preliminary results about hypothetical flavored tetraquark mesons are reported. Such states are particularly amenable to Lattice QCD studies as their interpolating operators do not overlap with those of ordinary hidden-charm mesons.
We compute the mass-spectra of all bottom tetraquarks [$bb][bar{b}bar{b}$] and heavy-light bottom tetraquarks [$bq][bar{b}bar{q}$] (q=u,d), that are considered to be compact and made up of diquark-antidiquark pairs. The fully bottom tetraquark [$bb][bar{b}bar{b}$] has been studied in $eta_{b}(1S)eta_{b}(1S)$, $eta_{b}(1S)Upsilon(1S)$ and $Upsilon(1S)Upsilon(1S)$ S-wave channels, as well as a few orbitally excited channels, with masses ranging from 18.7 GeV to 19.8 GeV. The masses of heavy-light bottom tetraquarks are studied in the $B^{pm}B^{pm}$, $B^{pm}B^{*}$ and $B^{*}B^{*}$ channels, with masses ranging from 10.4 GeV to 10.5 GeV. Two charged resonances, $Z_{b}(10610)$ and $Z_{b}(10650)$, both with the quantum number $1^{+-}$, have also been investigated.
