Mass spectra of heavy hybrid quarkonia and $\overline{b}gc$ mesons

Masses and current couplings of the charmonium and bottomonium hybrids $ \overline{c}gc$ and $\overline{b}gb$ with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC} }=0^{++},\ 0^{+-},\ 0^{-+},\ 0^{--}$ and $1^{++},\ 1^{+-},\ 1^{-+},\ 1^{--}$ are calculated using QCD two-point sum rule method. Computations are performed by taking into account gluon condensates up to dimension 12 including terms $\sim \langle g_{s}^{3}G^{3}\rangle ^{2}$. The parameters of the bottom-charm hybrids $\overline{b}gc$ with quantum numbers $J^{\mathrm{PC }}=0^{+},\ 0^{-},\ 1^{+}$, and $1^{-}$ are calculated as well. In computations the dominance of the pole contribution to sum rule results is ensured. It is demonstrated that all charmonia hybrids decay strongly to two-meson final states. The bottomonium hybrids $0^{-+}$ and $1^{-+}$ as well as the bottom-charm hybrid mesons $0^{-(+)}$ and $1^{-(+)}$ may be stable against strong two-meson decay modes. Results of the present work are compared with ones obtained using the sum rule and alternative approaches. Our predictions for parameters of the heavy hybrid mesons may be useful to study their various decay channels which are important for interpretation of ongoing and future experiments.

Heavy axial-vector structures $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$

The fully heavy axial-vector diquark-antidiquark structures $bb\overline{c} \overline{c}$ are explored by means of the QCD sum rule method. They are modeled as four-quark mesons $T_{\mathrm{1}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{2}}$ composed of $b^{T}Cσ_{μν}γ_{5}b$, $\overline{c}γ^{ν}C \overline{c}^{T}$ and $b^{T}Cγ_{μ}γ_{5}b$, $\overline{c}C \overline{c}^{T}$ diquarks, respectively. The spectroscopic parameters of the tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{1}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{2}}$ are determined in the context of the QCD two-point sum rule method. Results obtained for masses of these states $m_{1} =(12715\pm 86)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m_{2}=(13383\pm 92)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ are used to fix their strong decay channels. The full width $ Γ(T_{\mathrm{1}})$ of the diquark-antidiquark state $T_{\mathrm{1}}$ is estimated by considering the processes $T_{\mathrm{1}} \to B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $T_{\mathrm{1}} \to B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{\ast -} $. The decays to mesons $B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}$, $B_{c}^{-}(2S)B_{c}^{ \ast -}$ and $B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ are employed to evaluate $Γ(T_{\mathrm{2}})$. Results obtained for the widths $Γ(T_{\mathrm{1} })=(44.3\pm 8.8)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ(T_{\mathrm{2}})=(82.5\pm 13.7)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ of these tetraquarks in conjunction with their masses are useful for future experimental studies of fully heavy resonances.

Decays of fully beauty scalar tetraquarks to $B_{q}\overline{B}_{q}$ and $B_{q}^{\ast}\overline{B}_{q}^{\ast}$ mesons

Decays of the fully beauty four-quark structures $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ and $T_{ \mathrm{4b}}$ to $B$ meson pairs are investigated in the framework of QCD three-point sum rule method. We model the scalar exotic mesons $X_{\mathrm{4b }}$ and $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$ as diquark-antidiquark systems composed of the axial-vector and pseudoscalar diquarks, respectively. The masses $m=(18540 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $\widetilde{m}=(18858 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of these compounds calculated in our previous articles, fix possible decay channels of these particles. In the present work, we consider their decays to $B_{q}\overline{B}_{q}$ and $B_{q}^{\ast }\overline{B}_{q}^{\ast } (q=u,d,s,c)$ mesons. In the case of $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ the mass of which is below the $2η_{b}$ threshold, these channels determine essential part of its full width $Γ_{\mathrm{4b}}$. The tetraquark $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$ can decay to the pair $η_{b}η_{b}$, therefore partial widths of processes with $B (B^{\ast})$ mesons in the final state permit us to refine our estimate for the full width of this particle. The predictions $Γ_{ \mathrm{4b}}=(9.6\pm 1.1)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $\widetilde{Γ}_{\mathrm{4b} }^{\mathrm{Full}}=(144 \pm 29)~\mathrm{MeV}$ obtained in this article can be used in future experimental investigations of four $b$-quark mesons.

Scalar exotic mesons $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$

Properties of doubly charged scalar tetraquarks $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$ are investigated in the framework of the QCD sum rule method. We model them as diquark-antidiquark states $X_{\mathrm{1}}$ and $X_{\mathrm{2}}$ built of axial-vector and pseudoscalar diquarks, respectively. The masses and current couplings of these particles are computed using the QCD two-point sum rule method. Results $m_{1}=(12715 \pm 80)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m_{2}=(13370 \pm 95)~\mathrm{MeV}$ obtained for the masses of these particles are used to determine their kinematically allowed decay modes. The full width $Γ_{ \mathrm{1}}$ of the state $X_{\mathrm{1}}$ is evaluated by taking into account its strong decays to mesons $2B_{c}^{-}$, and $2B_{c}^{\ast -}$. The processes $X_{\mathrm{2}} \to 2B_{c}^{-}$, $2B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $ B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}(2S)$ are employed to estimate $Γ_{\mathrm{2}}$. Predictions obtained for the full widths $Γ_{\mathrm{1}}=(63 \pm 12)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ_{\mathrm{2}}=(79 \pm 14)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of these structures and their masses may be utilized in experimental studies of fully heavy resonances.

Exploring fully heavy scalar tetraquarks $QQ\overline{Q}\overline{Q}$

The masses, current couplings and widths of the fully heavy scalar tetraquarks $X_{\mathrm{4Q}}=QQ\overline{Q}\overline{Q}$, $Q=c, b$ are calculated by modeling them as four-quark systems composed of axial-vector diquark and antidiquark. The masses $m^{(\prime)}$ and couplings $ f^{(\prime)}$ of these tetraquarks are computed in the context of the QCD sum rule method by taking into account a nonperturbative term proportional to the gluon condensate $\langle α_{s}G^{2}/ π\rangle$. Results $ m=(6570 \pm 55)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m^{\prime}=(18540 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ are used to fix kinematically allowed hidden-flavor decay channels of these states. It turns out that, the processes $X_{\mathrm{4c}}\rightarrow J/ψJ/ψ$, $X_{\mathrm{4c}}\rightarrow η_{c}η_{c}$, and $X_{\mathrm{4c }}\rightarrow η_{c}χ_{c1}(1P)$ are possible decay modes of $X_{ \mathrm{4c}}$. The partial widths of these channels are evaluated by means of the couplings $g_{i}, i=1,2,3$ which describe strong interactions of tetraquark $X_{\mathrm{4c}}$ and mesons at relevant vertices. The couplings $ g_{i}$ are extracted from the QCD three-point sum rules by extrapolating corresponding form factors $g_{i}(Q^2) $ to the mass-shell of a final meson. The mass of the scalar tetraquark $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ is below the $η_b η_b$ and $Υ(1S)Υ(1S)$ thresholds, therefore it does not fall apart to these bottomonia, but transforms to conventional particles through other mechanisms. Comparing $m=(6570 \pm 55)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $ Γ_{\mathrm{4c}}=(110 \pm 21)~\mathrm{MeV}$ with parameters of structures observed by the LHCb, ATLAS and CMS collaborations, we interpret $ X_{4c}$ as the resonance $X(6600)$ reported by CMS. Comparisons are made with other theoretical predictions.

Resonance $X(7300)$: excited $2S$ tetraquark or hadronic molecule $χ_{c1}χ_{c1}$?

We explore the first radial excitation $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$ of the fully charmed diquark-antidiquark state $X_{\mathrm{4c}}=cc\overline{c}\overline{c} $ built of axial-vector components, and the hadronic molecule $\mathcal{M} =χ_{c1}χ_{c1}$. The masses and current couplings of these scalar states are calculated in the context of the QCD two-point sum rule approach. The full widths of $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ are evaluated by taking into account their kinematically allowed decay channels. We find partial widths of these processes using the strong couplings $g_i^{\ast}$ and $G_i^{(\ast)}$ at the $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$($\mathcal{M}$ )-conventional mesons vertices computed by means of the QCD three-point sum rule method. The predictions obtained for the parameters $m=(7235 \pm 75)~ \mathrm{MeV}$, $Γ=(144 \pm 18)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $\widetilde{m}=(7180 \pm 120)~\mathrm{MeV}$, $\widetildeΓ=(169 \pm 21)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of these structures, are compared with the experimental data of the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations. In accordance to these results, within existing errors of measurements and uncertainties of the theoretical calculations, both the excited tetraquark and hadronic molecule may be considered as candidates to the resonance $X(7300)$. Detailed analysis, however, demonstrates that the preferable model for $X(7300)$ is an admixture of the molecule $\mathcal{M}$ and sizeable part of $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$.

Hadronic molecules $η_c η_c$ and $χ_{c0}χ_{c0}$

The fully charmed hadronic scalar molecules $\mathcal{M}_1=η_c η_c$ and $\mathcal{M}_2=χ_{c0}χ_{c0}$ are studied in the context of the QCD sum rule method. The masses $m$, $\widetilde{m}$ and current couplings $f$, $ \widetilde{f}$ of these states are calculated using the two-point sum rule approach. The obtained results $m=(6264 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $ \widetilde{m}=(6954 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ are employed to determine their decay channels. It is demonstrated that the processes $\mathcal{M}_1\to J/ψJ/ψ$ and $\mathcal{M}_1\to η_{c}η_{c}$ are kinematically allowed decay modes of $\mathcal{M}_1$. The molecule $\mathcal{M}_2$ decays to $J/ψJ/ψ$, $J/ψψ^{\prime}$, $η_{c}η_{c}$, $η_{c}η_{c}(2S)$, $η_{c}χ_{c1}(1P)$, and $χ_{c0} χ_{c0}$ mesons. The partial widths all of these processes are evaluated by means of the three-point sum rule calculations, which are necessary to extract the strong couplings $g_i$ at vertices $\mathcal{M}_1J/ψJ/ψ$, $\mathcal{M }_1η_{c}η_{c}$, and others. Our estimates for the full widths of the molecules $Γ_{\mathcal{M}_1}=(320 \pm 72)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ_{ \mathcal{M}_2}=(138 \pm 18)~\mathrm{MeV}$, as well as their masses are compared with parameters of the $X$ resonances discovered by the LHCb-ATLAS-CMS Collaborations in the di-$J/ψ$ and $J/ψψ^{\prime}$ invariant mass distributions. We argue that the molecule $\mathcal{M}_1$ can be considered as a real candidate to the resonance $X(6200)$. The structure $ \mathcal{M}_2$ may be interpreted as $X(6900)$ or one of its components in combination with a scalar tetraquark.

Fully charmed resonance $X(6900)$ and its beauty counterpart

The fully heavy scalar tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{4Q}}=QQ\overline{Q}\overline{Q }$, ($Q=c, b$) are explored in the context of QCD sum rule method. We model $ T_{\mathrm{4Q}}$ as diquark-antidiquark systems composed of pseudoscalar constituents, and calculate their masses $m^{(\prime)}$ and couplings $ f^{(\prime)}$ within the two-point sum rule approach. Our results $m=(6928 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m^{\prime}=(18858 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for masses of the tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{4c}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$ prove that they can decay to hidden-flavor heavy mesons. The full width $Γ_{ \mathrm{4c}}$ of the $T_{\mathrm{4c}}$ is evaluated by taking into account the decay channels $T_{\mathrm{4c}} \to J/ψJ/ψ$, $J/ψψ^{\prime}$, $η_{c}η_{c}$, $η_{c}η_{c}(2S)$, $η_{c}χ_{c1}(1P)$, and $χ_{c0}χ_{c0}$. The partial widths of these processes depend on strong couplings $g_{i}$ at vertices $T_{\mathrm{4c} }J/ψJ/ψ$, $T_{\mathrm{4c}}J/ψψ^{\prime} $ etc., which are computed using the QCD three-point sum rule method. The decay $T_{\mathrm{4b} } \to η_{b}η_{b}$ is used to find the width $Γ_{\mathrm{4b}}$ of the $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$. The predictions for $m$ and $Γ_{\mathrm{4c} }=(128 \pm 22)~\mathrm{MeV}$ are compared with parameters of the fully charmed resonances reported by the LHCb, ATLAS, and CMS Collaborations. Based on this analysis, we interpret the tetraquark $T_{\mathrm{4c}}$ as a candidate to the resonance $X(6900)$. The mass $m^{\prime} $ and width $ Γ_{\mathrm{4b}}=(94 \pm 28)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the exotic meson $T_{ \mathrm{4b}}$ can be used in future experimental investigations of these

Strange partners of the doubly charmed tetraquark $T^{+}_{cc}$

The spectroscopic parameters and widths of the axial-vector $T_{cc:s}^{ \mathrm{AV}}$ and scalar $T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{S}}$, $\widetilde{T}_{cc:s}^{ \mathrm{S}}$ strange partners of the doubly charmed exotic meson $T_{cc}^{+}$ with the content $cc\overline{u}\overline{s}$, are calculated in the framework of the QCD sum rule method. We model $T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{AV}}$ as the diquark-antidiquark state composed of axial-vector and scalar components, whereas scalar particles $T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{S}}$ and $\widetilde{ T}_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{S}}$ are built of axial-vector and scalar diquarks, respectively. The masses and current couplings of these tetraquarks are calculated in the context of the two-point sum rule approach by taking into account the quark, gluon and mixed condensates up to dimension $10$. The full width of the state $T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{AV}}$ is found from analysis of the processes $T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{AV}} \to D^{0}D_{s}^{\ast +}$ and $ T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{AV}} \to D^{\ast}(2007)^{0}D_{s}^{+}$. Decays to $ D^{0}D_{s}^{+}$, $D^{\ast}(2007)^{0}D_{s}^{\ast+}$ and $D^{0}D_{s}^{+}$ mesons are utilized in the case of the scalar tetraquarks $T_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{ S}}$ and $\widetilde{T}_{cc:s}^{\mathrm{S}}$, respectively. The partial widths of the aforementioned decays are determined via the strong couplings $ g_1$, $g_2 $, $G_1$, $G_2$ and $\widetilde{G}$, which describe the strong interactions of the particles at the relevant tetraquark-meson-meson vertices. These couplings are computed using the QCD three-point sum rule method, most appropriate for the strong decays under study. ....

Near-threshold structures in the $D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ mass distribution of the decay $B^{+}\rightarrow D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+}$

Two near-threshold peaking structures with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC} }=0^{++}$ were recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in the $ D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ invariant mass distribution of the decay $ B^{+}\rightarrow D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+}$. The first of them is the resonance $X(3960)$, whereas the second one, $X_0(4140)$, is a structure with the mass around $4140~\mathrm{MeV}$. To explore their natures and model them, we study the hadronic molecule $\mathcal{M}=D_s^{+}D_s^{-}$ and calculate its mass, current coupling, and width. The mass and current coupling of the molecule are extracted from the QCD two-point sum rule analyses by taking into account vacuum condensates up to dimension $10$. To evaluate its full width, we consider the processes $\mathcal{M} \to D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$, $\mathcal{M} \toη_{c}η^{(\prime)}$, and $\mathcal{ M} \to J/ψϕ$. Partial widths of these decays are determined by the strong couplings $g_i, \ i=1,2,3,4 $ at vertices $\mathcal{M} D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$, $\mathcal{M}η_{c} η^{(\prime)}$, and $\mathcal{M} J/ψϕ$. They are computed by means of the three-point sum rule method. Predictions for the mass $m=(4117 \pm 85)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $Γ_{ \mathcal{M}}=(62 \pm 12)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the molecule $\mathcal{M}$ are compared with the corresponding LHCb data, and also with our results for the diquark-antidiquark state $X=[cs][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$. We argue that the structure $X_0(4140)$ may be interpreted as the hadronic molecule $ D_s^{+}D_s^{-}$, whereas the resonance $X(3960)$ can be identified with the tetraquark $X$.

Modeling the resonance $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ as a hadronic molecule $D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$

The doubly charged scalar resonance $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ is studied in the context of the hadronic molecule model. We consider $ T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ as a molecule $M=D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$ composed of vector mesons, and calculate its mass, current coupling and full width. The spectroscopic parameters of $M$, i.e., its mass and current coupling, are found by means of the QCD two-point sum rule method by taking into account vacuum expectation values of quark, gluon and mixed operators up to dimension $10$. The width of the molecule $M$ is evaluated through the calculations of the partial widths of the decay channels $M \to D_{s}^{+}π^{+}$, $M \to D_{s}^{\ast +}ρ^{+}$, and $M \to D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$. Partial widths of these processes are determined by strong couplings $g_1$, $g_2$, and $g_3$ of particles at vertices $ MD_{s}^{+}π^{+} $, $MD_{s}^{\ast +}ρ^{+}$, and $M D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$ , respectively. We calculate the couplings $g_i$ by employing the QCD light-cone sum rule approach and technical tools of the soft-meson approximation. Predictions obtained for the mass $m=(2924 \pm 107)~\mathrm{ MeV}$ and width $Γ=(123 \pm 25)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the hadronic molecule $ M$ allow us to consider it as a possible candidate of the resonance $ T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$.

On the structures of new scalar resonances $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ and $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{0}$

We investigate properties of the new scalar resonances $ T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ and $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{0}$, which were recently reported by the LHCb collaboration. These states were observed as resonant structures in $D_{s}^{+}π^{+}$ and $D_{s}^{+}π^{-}$ invariant mass distributions in $B^{+}$ meson decays. We argue that $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++} $ and $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{0}$ may be modeled as molecules $\mathcal{M} ^{++}=D_{s}^{\ast+}ρ^{+}$ and $\mathcal{M}^{0}=D_{s}^{\ast+}ρ^{-} $ of conventional vector mesons, respectively. The mass $m$ and current coupling $ f $ of the molecule $\mathcal{M}^{++}$ are calculated using two-point sum rule method. The sum rule analysis is performed by taking into account vacuum condensates up to dimension $8$. The obtained result for the mass, $ m=(2917 \pm 135)~\mathrm{MeV}$, permits us to consider the molecule $ \mathcal{M}^{++}$ as one of possible models of the resonance $ T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$. Because the second structure $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{0}$ is isospin partner of the doubly charged state, it should have the mass close to $m$.

Axial-vector and pseudoscalar tetraquarks $[ud][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$

Spectroscopic parameters and widths of the fully open-flavor axial-vector and pseudoscalar tetraquarks $X_{\mathrm{AV}}$ and $X_{\mathrm{PS}}$ with content $[ud][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$ are calculated by means of the QCD sum rule methods. Masses and current couplings of $X_{\mathrm{AV}}$ and $X_{ \mathrm{PS}}$ are found using two-point sum rule computations performed by taking into account various vacuum condensates up to dimension $10$. The full width of the axial-vector state $X_{\mathrm{AV}}$ is evaluated by including into analysis $S$-wave decay modes $X_{\mathrm{AV}}\to D^{\ast }(2010)^{-}K^{+}$, $\overline{D}^{\ast }(2007)^{0}K^{0}$, $D^{-}K^{\ast }(892)^{+}$, and $\overline{D}^{0}K^{\ast }(892)^{0}$. In the case of $X_{ \mathrm{PS}}$, we consider $S$-wave decay $X_{\mathrm{PS}}\to \overline{D} _{0}^{\ast }(2300)^{0}K^{0}$, and $P$-wave processes $X_{\mathrm{PS}}\to D^{-}K^{\ast}(892)^{+}$ and $X_{\mathrm{PS}}\to \overline{D} ^{0}K^{\ast}(892)^{0}$. To determine partial widths of these decay modes, we employ the QCD light-cone sum rule method and soft-meson approximation, which are necessary to estimate strong couplings at tetraquark-meson-meson vertices $X_{\mathrm{AV}}D^{-}D^{\ast }(2010)^{-}K^{+} $, etc. Our predictions for the mass $m_{\mathrm{AV}}=(2800 \pm 75)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $Γ_{\mathrm{AV}}=(58 \pm 10)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the tetraquark $X_{ \mathrm{AV}}$, as well as results $m_{\mathrm{PS}}=(3000 \pm 60)~\mathrm{MeV} $ and $Γ_{\mathrm{PS}}=(65 \pm 12)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for the same parameters of $X_{\mathrm{PS}}$ may be useful in future experimental studies of multiquark hadrons.

Resonance $X(3960)$ as a hidden charm-strange scalar tetraquark

We investigate features of the hidden charm-strange scalar tetraquark $c \overline{c}s\overline{s}$ by calculating its spectral parameters and width, and we compare the obtained results with the mass and width of the resonance $ X(3960)$ discovered recently in the LHCb experiment. We model the tetraquark as a diquark-antidiquark state $X=[cs][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$ with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC}}=0^{++}$. The mass and current coupling of $X$ are calculated using the QCD two-point sum rules by taking into account various vacuum condensates up to dimension $10$. The width of the tetraquark $X$ is estimated via the decay channels $X \to D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ and $X \to η_{c} η^{(\prime)}$. The partial widths of these processes are expressed in terms of couplings $G$, $g_1$ and $g_2$ which describe the strong interactions of particles at the vertices $XD_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$, $ Xη_{c}η^{\prime}$ and $Xη_{c}η$, respectively. Numerical values of $G$, $g_1$ and $g_2$ are evaluated by employing the three-point sum rule method. Comparing the results $m=(3976 \pm 85)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ_{ \mathrm{X}}=(42.2 \pm 12.0)~\mathrm{MeV}$ obtained for parameters of the tetraquark $X$ and experimental data of the LHCb Collaboration, we conclude that the resonance $X(3960)$ can be considered as a candidate to a scalar diquark-antidiquark state.

Is the resonance $X_0(2900)$ a ground-state or radially excited scalar tetraquark $[ud][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$?

We investigate properties of the ground-state and first radially excited four-quark mesons $X_0$ and $X_0^{\prime}$ with a diquark-antidiquark structure $[ud][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$ and spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{P} }=0^{+}$. Our aim is to reveal whether or not one of these states can be identified with the resonance $X_0(2900)$, recently discovered by the LHCb collaboration. We model $X_0$ and $X_0^{\prime}$ as tetraquarks composed of either axial-vector or scalar diquark and antidiquark pairs. Their spectroscopic parameters are computed by employing the QCD two-point sum rule method and including into analysis vacuum condensates up to dimension $ 15$. For an axial-axial structure of $X_0^{(\prime)}$, we find partial widths of the decays $X_0^{(\prime)} \to D^{-}K^{+}$ and $X_0^{(\prime)} \to D^{0}K^{0}$, and estimate full widths of the states $X_0^{(\prime)}$. To this end, we calculate the strong couplings at the vertices $ X_0^{(\prime)}DK $ in the framework of the light-cone sum rule method. We use also technical approaches of the soft-meson approximation necessary to analyze tetraquark-meson-meson vertices. Obtained results $m=(2545 \pm 160)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ and $m^{\prime}=(3320 \pm 120)~\mathrm{MeV}$ [$m_{\mathrm{S} }=(2663 \pm 110)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m_{\mathrm{S}}^{\prime}=(3325 \pm 85)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ for a scalar-scalar current] for the masses of the particles $ X_0$ and $X_0^{\prime}$, as well as estimates for their full widths $ Γ_{0}=(140 \pm 29)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ_{0}^{\prime}=(110 \pm 25)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ allow us to interpret none of them as the resonance $X_0(2900)$ . At the same time, these predictions provide important information about ground-state and radially excited diquark-antidiquark structures $X_0$ and $ X_0^{\prime}$, which should be objects of future experimental and theoretical studies.

We explore this resonance as a diquark-antidiquark state $X=[cs][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$ with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC}}=1^{-+}$. Its mass and current coupling are calculated using the QCD two-point sum rule method by taking into account vacuum condensates up to dimension $10$. We also study decays of this tetraquark to mesons $J/ψϕ$, $η_{c}η^{(\prime )}$, and $χ_{c1}η^{(\prime )}$, and compute partial widths of these channels. To this end, we employ the light-cone sum rule approach and technical methods of soft-meson approximation to extract strong coupling at relevant tetraquark-meson-meson vertices. Our predictions for the mass $m=(4632\pm 60)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $Γ=(159\pm 31)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of $X$ are in a very nice agreement with recent measurements of the LHCb collaboration. These results allow us to interpret the resonance $X(4630)$ as the tetraquark $X$ with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC}}=1^{-+}$.

Hadronic molecule model for the doubly charmed state $T^{+}_{cc}$

The mass, current coupling, and width of the doubly charmed four-quark meson $T_{cc}^{+}$ are explored by treating it as a hadronic molecule $ M_{cc}^{+}\equiv D^{0}D^{\ast +}$. The mass and current coupling of this molecule are calculated using the QCD two-point sum rule method by including into analysis contributions of various vacuum condensates up to dimension $ 10 $. The prediction for the mass $m=(4060\pm 130)~\mathrm{MeV}$ exceeds the two-meson $D^{0}D^{\ast +}$ threshold $3875.1~\mathrm{MeV}$, which makes decay of the molecule $M_{cc}^{+}$ to a pair of conventional mesons $ D^{0}D^{\ast +}$ kinematically allowed process. The strong coupling $G $ of particles at the vertex $M_{cc}^{+}D^{0}D^{\ast +}$ is found by applying the QCD three-point sum rule approach, and used to evaluate the width of the decay $M_{cc}^{+} \to D^{0}D^{\ast +}$.

Newly observed exotic doubly charmed meson $T^{+}_{cc}$

In this work, we treat the newly observed doubly charmed four-quark state $ T_{cc}^{+}$ as an axial-vector tetraquark with content $cc\overline{u} \overline{d}$, and calculate its spectroscopic parameters and width. The mass and current coupling of the tetraquark $T_{cc}^{+}$ are found by means of the QCD two-point sum rule method by taking into account quark, gluon and mixed condensates up to dimension $10$. The width of the $T_{cc}^{+}$ is evaluated using partial widths of decay processes $T_{cc}^{+} \to \widetilde{ T}π^{0}$ and $T_{cc}^{+} \to T_{cc;\overline{u}\overline{u}}^{0}π^{+}$ , where $\widetilde{T}=cc\overline{u}\overline{d}$ and $T_{cc;\overline{u} \overline{u}}^{0}$ are scalar tetraquarks. To compute the partial width of the first process, we apply the QCD three-point sum rule approach and extract numerical value of the strong coupling $g$ that corresponds to the vertex $T_{cc}^{+}\widetilde{T}π^{0}$. The width of the second decay is estimated using isospin symmetry and the prediction obtained for the first channel. Our results for the mass $m=(3868\pm 124)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $ Γ=(489\pm 92)~\mathrm{keV}$ of the tetraquark $T_{cc}^{+}$ are in a nice agreement with recent measurements of the LHCb collaboration.
