$T^+_{cc}$ and its partners

Inspired by the $T^+_{cc}$ signal discovered by the LHCb Collaboration, we systematically investigate the doubly heavy tetraquark states with the molecule configuration $[Q_1\bar{q}_2][Q_3\bar{q}_4]$ ($Q=c$ and $b$, $q=u$, $d$ and $s$) in a nonrelativistic quark model. The model involves a color screening confinement potential, meson-exchange interactions and one-gluon-exchange interactions. The $T^+_{cc}$ state with $IJ^P=01^+$ is a very loosely bound deuteron-like state with a binding energy around 0.34 MeV and a huge size of 4.32 fm. Both the meson exchange force and the coupled channel effect play a pivotal role. Without the meson exchange force, there does not exist the $T^+_{cc}$ molecular state. In strong contrast, the QCD valence bond forms clearly in the $T^+_{bb}$ system when we turn off the meson-exchange force, which is very similar to the hydrogen molecule in QED. Moreover, the $T^+_{bb}$ becomes a helium-like QCD-atom if we increase the bottom quark mass by a factor of three. Especially, the $T^+_{bb}$ states with $01^+$, $T^+_{bc}$ with $00^+$ and $01^+$ and the $V$-spin antisymmetric states $T^+_{bbs}$ with $\frac{1}{2}1^+$, $T^+_{bcs}$ with $\frac{1}{2}0^+$ and $\frac{1}{2}1^+$ can form a compact, hydrogen molecule-like or deuteron-like bound state with different binding dynamics. The high-spin states $T^+_{bc}$ with $02^+$ and $T^+_{bcs}$ with $\frac{1}{2}2^+$ can decay into $D$-wave $\bar{B}D$ and $\bar{B}_sD$ although they are below the thresholds $\bar{B}^*D^*$ and $\bar{B}^*_sD^*$, respectively. The isospin and $V$-spin symmetric states are unbound. We also calculate their magnetic moments and axial charges.

Towards the understanding of fully-heavy tetraquark states from various models

We use a color-magnetic interaction model (CMIM), a traditional constituent quark model (CQM) and a multiquark color flux-tube model (MCFTM) to systematically investigate the properties of the states $[Q_1Q_2][\bar{Q}_3\bar{Q}_4]$ ($Q=c,b$). The dynamical investigation indicates that the CMIM can not completely absorb QCD dynamical effects through the effective constituent quark mass and overestimates the color-magnetic interaction in the states under the assumption of the same spatial configurations. The Coulomb interaction plays a critical role in the dynamical model calculations on the heavy hadrons, which induces the fact that none of bound states $[Q_1Q_2][\bar{Q}_3\bar{Q}_4]$ can be found in the dynamical models. The color configuration $\left[[Q_1Q_2]_{\mathbf{6}_c}[\bar{Q}_3\bar{Q}_4]_{\bar{\mathbf{6}}_c}\right]_{\mathbf{1}}$ should be taken seriously in the ground states due to the strong Coulomb attraction between the $[Q_1Q_2]_{\mathbf{6}_c}$ and $[\bar{Q}_3\bar{Q}_4]_{\bar{\mathbf{6}}_c}$. The color configuration $\left[[Q_1Q_2]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}[\bar{Q}_2\bar{Q}_4]_{\mathbf{3}_c}\right]_{\mathbf{1}}$ is absolutely dominant in the excited states because of the strong Coulomb attraction within the $[Q_1Q_2]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}$ and $[\bar{Q}_2\bar{Q}_4]_{\mathbf{3}_c}$. The $J/Ψ$-pair resonances recently observed by LHCb are difficult to be accommodated in the CMIM. The broad structure ranging from 6.2 to 6.8 GeV can be described as the ground tetraquark state $[cc][\bar{c}\bar{c}]$ in the various dynamical models. The narrow structure $X(6900)$ can be identified as the excited state $[cc][\bar{c}\bar{c}]$ with $L=1$ ($L=2$) in the CQM (MCFTM).

Can the state $Y(4626)$ be a $P$-wave tetraquark state $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$?

Stimulated by the state $Y(4626)$ recently reported by Belle Collaboration, we utilize a multiquark color flux-tube model with a multibody confinement potential and one-glue-exchange interaction to make an exhaustive investigation on the diquark-antidiquark state $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$. Numerical results indicate that the appearance of the states $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ like a dumb-bell, the larger the orbital excitation $L$, the more distinguished the shape. The mixing of the color configurations $\left[[cs]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}[\bar{c}\bar{s}]_{\mathbf{3}_c}\right]_{\mathbf{1}}$ and $\left[[cs]_{\mathbf{6}_c}[\bar{c}\bar{s}]_{\bar{\mathbf{6}}_c}\right]_{\mathbf{1}}$ in the ground states is strong while the color configuration $\left[[cs]_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}_c}[\bar{c}\bar{s}]_{\mathbf{3}_c}\right]_{\mathbf{1}}$ is absolutely predominant in the excited states. The main component of the state $Y(4626)$ can be interpreted as a $P$-wave state $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$. Its hidden-bottom partner is predicted in the model calculation. The states $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4350)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$ are also discussed.

Systematical investigation on the stability of doubly heavy tetraquark states

We systematically investigate the stability of the doubly heavy tetraquark states $[QQ][\bar{q}\bar{q}]$ ($Q=c$ and $b$, $q=u$, $d$ and $s$) within the framework of the color flux-tube model involving a multibody confinement potential, $σ$-exchange, one-gluon-exchange and one-Goldstone-boson-exchange interactions. Our numerical analysis indicates that the states $[bb][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ with $01^+$ and $[bb][\bar{u}\bar{s}]$ with $\frac{1}{2}1^+$ are the most promising stable states against strong interactions. The states $[cc][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ with $01^+$, $[bc][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ with $00^+$, $01^+$, and $12^+$, and $[bb][\bar{u}\bar{d}]$ with $01^-$ and $12^+$ as stable states are also predicted in the color flux-tube model. The dynamical mechanism producing those stable doubly heavy tetraquark states are discussed in the color flux-tube model.

Hidden charmed states and multibody color flux-tube dynamics

Within the framework of the color flux-tube model with a multibody confinement potential, we systematically investigate the hidden charmed states observed in recent years. It can be found that most of them can be described as the compact tetraquark states $[cq][\bar{c}\bar{q}]$ ($q=u,d$ and $s$) in the color flux-tube model. The multibody confinement potential based on the color flux-tube picture is a dynamical mechanism in the formation and decay of the compact tetraquark states.

Heavy pentaquark states and a novel color structure

Encouraged by the observation of the pentaquark states $P^+_c(4380)$ and $P^+_c(4450)$, we propose a novel color flux-tube structure, pentagonal state, for pentaquark states within the framework of color flux-tube mode involving a five-body confinement potential. Numerical results on the heavy pentaquark states indicate that the states with three color flux-tube structures, diquark, octet and pentagonal structures, have the close masses, which can therefore be called QCD isomers analogous to isomers in Chemistry. The pentagonal structure has lowest energy. The state $P^+_c(4380)$ can be described as the compact pentaquark state $uudc\bar{c}$ with the pentagonal structure and $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ in the color flux-tube model. The state $P^+_c(4450)$ can not be accommodated into the color flux-tube model. The heavy pentaquark states $uudc\bar{b}$, $uudb\bar{c}$ and $uudb\bar{b}$ are predicted in the color flux-tube model. The five-body confinement potential basing on the color flux-tube picture as a collective degree of freedom is a dynamical mechanism in the formation of the compact heavy pentaquark states.

Possible pentaquarks with heavy quarks

Inspired by the discovery of two pentaquarks $P_{c}(4380)$ and $P_{c}(4450)$ at the LHCb detector, we study possible hidden-charm molecular pentaquarks in the framework of quark delocalization color screening model. Our results suggest that both $Nη_{c}$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and $NJ/ψ$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ are bounded by channels coupling. However, $NJ/ψ$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ may be a resonance state in the $D-$wave $Nη_{c}$ scattering process. Moreover, $P_{c}(4380)$ can be explained as the molecular pentaquark of $Σ^{*}_{c}D$ with quantum numbers $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$. The state $Σ^{*}_{c}D^{*}$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{5}{2}^{-}$ is a resonance, it may not be a good candidate of the observed $P_{c}(4450)$ because of the opposite parity of the state to $P_{c}(4380)$, although the mass of the state is not far from the experimental value. In addition, the calculation is extended to the hidden-bottom pentaquarks, the similar properties as that of hidden-charm pentaquarks system are obtained.

Systematic study of $Z^+_c$ family from quark model's perspective

Inspired by the present experimental status of charged charmonium-like states $Z_c^+$, the tetraquark states $[cu][\bar{c}\bar{d}]$ are systematically studied in a color flux-tube model with a multi-body confinement potential. The investigation indicates that charged charmonium-like states $Z_c^+(3900)$ or $Z_c^+(3885)$, $Z_c^+(3930)$, $Z_c^+(4020)$ or $Z_c^+(4025)$, $Z_1^+(4050)$, $Z_2^+(4250)$, and $Z_c^+(4200)$ can be uniformly described as tetraquark states $[cu][\bar{c}\bar{d}]$ with the quantum numbers $n^{2S+1}L_J$ and $J^P$ of $1^{3}S_1$ and $1^+$, $2^{3}S_1$ and $1^+$, $1^5S_2$ and $2^+$, $1^3P_1$ and $1^-$, $1^5D_1$ and $1^+$, and $1^3D_1$ and $1^+$, respectively. The predicted lowest charged tetraquark state $[cu][\bar{c}\bar{d}]$ with $0^+$ and $1^1S_0$ has a energy of $3780\pm10$ MeV in the model. The tetraquark states are compact three-dimensional spatial configurations similar to a rugby ball, the higher orbital angular momentum $L$ between the diquark $[cu]$ and antidiquark $[\bar{c}\bar{d}]$, the more prolate of the states. The multibody color flux-tube, a collective degree of freedom, plays an important role in the formation of those charge tetraquark states. However, the two heavier charged states $Z^+_c(4430)$ and $Z^+_c(4475)$ can not be explained as tetraquark states $[cu][\bar{c}\bar{d}]$ in this model approach.

Interpreting $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4025)/Z_c(4020)$ as charged tetraquark states

In the framework of color flux-tube model with a four-body confinement potential, the lowest charged tetraquark states $[Qq][\bar{Q}'\bar{q}']~(Q=c,b,q=u,d,s)$ are studied by using the variational method, Gaussian expansion method. The results indicate that some compact resonance states can be formed, the states can not decay into two color singlet mesons $Q\bar{q}'$ and $\bar{Q}'q$ through the breakdown and recombination of color flux tubes but into $Q\bar{Q}'$ and $q\bar{q}'$. The four-body confinement potential is an crucial dynamical mechanism for the formation of states, The decay mechanism is similar to that of compound nucleus and therefore the states should be called "color confined, multi-quark resonance" states. The newly observed charged states $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4025)/Z_c(4020)$ can be accommodated in the color flux-tube model and can be interpreted as the $S$-wave tetraquark states $[cu][{\bar{c}\bar{d}}]$ with quantum numbers $I=1$ and $J=1$ and 2, respectively.

Baryonia and near-threshold enhancements

The baryon-antibaryon spectrum consisting of strange, charm and bottom quarks is studied in the color flux-tube model with a multi-body confinement interaction. Numerical results indicate that many low-spin baryon-antibaryon states can form compact hexaquark states and are stable against the decay into a baryon and an antibaryon. The multi-body confinement interaction as a binding mechanism plays an important role in the formation of the states. They can be searched in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation and charmonium or bottomonium decay if they really exist. The newly reported states, X(1835), X(2370), Y(2175), Y(4360) and Y_b(10890), may be interpreted as $N\bar{N}$, $Δ\barΔ$, $Λ\barΛ$, $Λ_c\barΛ_c$ and $Λ_b\barΛ_b$ states, respectively.

QCD quark cyclobutadiene and light tetraquark spectrum

The QCD quark cyclobutadiene (ring-like), a new color structure of tetraquark system, is proposed and studied in the flux tube model with multi-body confinement potential. The QCD quark cyclobutadiene and other flux tube structures of tetraquark states have similar energies and they can be regarded as QCD isomeric compounds. The light tetraquark spectra ($u, d, s$ only) with ring-like and diquark-antidiquark structures are calculated in the flux tube model. The results show that many experimental states have the masses close to the calculated values if they are taken as tetraquark states. The isotensor states with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ and $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ are studied and predicted that the masses are around 1500 MeV. The multi-body interaction plays a important role to reduce the energy of the multiquark state.

X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370) in a flux tube model

Nonstrange baryonium spectrum is systematically studied by using the Gaussian expansion method in a flux tube model with the six-body confinement potential. All the model parameters are fixed by baryon properties, so the baryonium calculation is parameter-free. We find that X(1835) and X(2370), which are observed in the radiative decay of $J/ψ$ by BES collaboration, can be described as $N_8\bar{N}_8$ and $Δ_8\barΔ_8$ bound states with quantum numbers $I^GJ^{PC}=0^+0^{-+}$, respectively, such bound states should be color confinement resonances with three-dimensional configurations similar to dumbbell, however, X(2120) can not be accommodated in our model.

Possible interpretation of the $Z_b$(10610) and $Z_b$(10650) in a chiral quark model

Motivated by the two charged bottomonium-like resonances $Z_b$(10610) and $Z_b$(10650) newly observed by the Belle collaboration, the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons, $B\bar{B}, B\bar{B}^*, B^*\bar{B}^*, B_s\bar{B}$, etc (in S-wave), are investigated in the framework of chiral quark models by the Gaussian expansion method. The bound states $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$ with quantum numbers $I(J^{PC})=1(1^{+-})$, which are good candidates for the $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ respectively, are obtained. Other three bound states $B\bar{B}^*$ with $I(J^{PC})=0(1^{++})$, $B^*\bar{B}^*$ with $I(J^{PC})=1(0^{++}), 0(2^{++})$ are predicted. These states may be observed in open-bottom or hidden-bottom decay channel of highly excited $Υ$. When extending directly the quark model to the hidden color channel of the multi-quark system, more deeply bound states are found. Future experimental search of those states will cast doubt on the validity of applying the chiral constituent quark model to the hidden color channel directly.

Systematic study of pentaquark states: $qqq-q\bar{q}$ configuration

Group theoretic method for the systematic study of five-quark states with meson-baryon ($q\bar{q}-q^3$) configuration is developed. The calculation of matrix elements of many body Hamiltonian is simplified by transforming the physical bases (meson-baryon quark cluster bases) to symmetry bases (group chain classified bases), where the fractional parentage expansion method can be used. Three quark models, the naive Glashow-Isgur model, Salamanca chiral quark model and quark delocalization color screening model, are used to show the general applicability of the method and general results of constituent quark models for five-quark states are given. The method can also be useful in the calculation of meson-baryon scattering and the study of the five-quark components effect in baryon structure. The physical contents of different model configurations for the same multi-quark system can also be compared through the transformation between different physical bases to the same set of symmetry bases.

Systematic study of multi-quark states I. qq-qq-\bar{q} configuration

Group theoretic method for the systematic study of multi-quark states is developed. The calculation of matrix elements of many body Hamiltonian is simplified by transforming the physical bases (quark cluster bases) to symmetry bases (group chain classified bases), where the fractional parentage expansion method can be used. Five quark system is taken as example in this study. The Jaffe-Wilczek $qq-qq-\bar{q}$ configuration is chosen as one of examples to construct the physical bases and the transformation coefficients between physical bases and symmetry ones are shown to be related to the ${SU}_{mn}\supset{SU}_m\times{SU}_n$ isoscalar factors and a complete transformation coefficients table is given. The needed isoscalar factors and fractional parentage coefficients had been calculated with our new group representation theory and published before. Three quark models, the naive Glashow-Isgur, Salamanca and quark delocalization color screening, are used to show the general applicability of the new multi-quark calculation method and general results of constituent quark models for five-quark states are given.
