Analysis of strong decays of the Zc(4600) with the QCD sum rules

Abstract

In this paper, we tentatively assign the [Formula: see text] to be the [Formula: see text] type vector tetraquark state and study its two-body strong decays with the QCD sum rules based on solid quark–hadron duality, the predictions for the partial decay widths [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be compared to the experimental data in the future to diagnose the nature of the [Formula: see text].
