$T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)$, $T_{cs0}^*(2900)^0$, and other singly heavy tetraquark states

We systematically study the mass spectra of $S$-wave singly heavy tetraquark states $Qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ ($Q=c,b$; $q=u,d,s$) in a mass splitting model. We adopt the assumption that the $X(4140)$ is the lowest $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark and use this state as a reference to determine the mass splittings. According to the obtained results, we also estimate the rearrangement decay widths of the tetraquarks within a simple scheme. We find that the recently observed states $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)^{++/0}$ and $T_{cs0}^*(2900)^0$ by the LHCb Collaboration can be consistently interpreted as the second highest $I(J^P)=1(0^+)$ $cn\bar{s}\bar{n}$ ($n=u,d$) and the higher $I(J^P)=0(0^+)$ $cs\bar{n}\bar{n}$ tetraquark states, respectively. We predict several narrow tetraquark candidates: the lowest $cn\bar{s}\bar{n}$ and $cs\bar{n}\bar{n}$ with $I(J^P)=0(0^+)$ and $0(1^+)$, and their bottom counterparts. The obtained information from mass spectrum and rearrangement decay properties will help search for the new singly heavy tetraquark states.

Spectrum and rearrangement decays of tetraquark states with four different flavors

We have systematically investigated the mass spectrum and rearrangement decay properties of the exotic tetraquark states with four different flavors using a color-magnetic interaction model. Their masses are estimated by assuming that the $X(4140)$ is a $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark state and their decay widths are obtained by assuming that the Hamiltonian for decay is a constant. According to the adopted method, we find that the most stable states are probably the isoscalar $bs\bar{u}\bar{d}$ and $cs\bar{u}\bar{d}$ with $J^P=0^+$ and $1^+$. The width for most unstable tetraquarks is about tens of MeVs, but that for unstable $cu\bar{s}\bar{d}$ and $cs\bar{u}\bar{d}$ can be around 100 MeV. For the $X(5568)$, our method cannot give consistent mass and width if it is a $bu\bar{s}\bar{d}$ tetraquark state. For the $I(J^P)=0(0^+),0(1^+)$ double-heavy $T_{bc}=bc\bar{u}\bar{d}$ states, their widths can be several MeVs.

Pentaquark states with the $QQQq\bar{q}$ configuration in a simple model

We discuss the mass splittings for the $S$-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the $QQQq\bar{q}$ $(Q=b,c;q=u,d,s)$ configuration which is a mirror structure of $Q\bar{Q}qqq$. The latter configuration is related with the nature of $P_c(4380)$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration. The considered pentaquark masses are roughly estimated with a simple method. One finds that such states are probably not narrow even if they do exist. This leaves room for molecule interpretation for a state around the low-lying threshold of a doubly heavy baryon and a heavy-light meson, e.g. $Ξ_{cc}D$, if it were observed. As a by product, we conjecture that upper limits for the masses of the conventional triply heavy baryons can be determined by the masses of the conventional doubly heavy baryons.

Hidden-charm Pentaquark Production at $e^+e^-$ Colliders

We study one possible production mechanism for hidden charm pentaquark in e+e- collision, where it is produced via a color-octet c \bar c pair fragmentation. The pentaquark production at B factory energy is dominated by e+e- to c \bar c g to Pc + X. At Z^0 pole, for the pentaquark production, there are several partonic processes playing significant role. Our results show that it is possible to search for the direct pentaquark production signal at e+e- colliders, which is important to understand the properties of pentaquark.
