Analysis of the Zc(4200) as axial-vector molecule-like state

Abstract

In this paper, we assume the [Formula: see text] as the color octet–octet type axial-vector molecule-like state, and construct the color octet–octet type axial-vector current to study its mass and width with the QCD sum rules. The numerical values [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are consistent with the experimental data [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and support assigning the [Formula: see text] to be the color octet–octet type molecule-like state with [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we discuss the possible assignments of the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as the diquark–antidiquark type tetraquark states with [Formula: see text].
