Abstract

We study tetraquark resonances with lattice QCD potentials computed for two static quarks and two dynamical quarks, the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the emergent wave method of scattering theory. As a proof of concept we focus on systems with isospin I = 0, but consider different relative angular momenta l of the heavy b quarks. We compute the phase shifts and search for S and T matrix poles in the second Riemann sheet. We predict a new tetraquark resonance for l = 1, decaying into two B mesons, with quantum numbers I(JP) = 0(1−), mass [see formula in PDF] MeV and decay width [see formula in PDF] MeV.

Highlights

  • A long standing problem in QCD is to understand exotic hadrons

  • The existence of bound states has been extensively investigated in the recent past by combining static lattice QCD potentials and the Born-Oppenheimer approximation

  • Most promising with respect to the existence of stable tetraquarks or tetraquark resonances are light quarks q ∈ {u, d} together with (I = 0, j = 0) or (I = 1, j = 1), where I denotes isospin and j light total angular momentum

Summary

Introduction

A long standing problem in QCD is to understand exotic hadrons. In this work we specialize in tetraquark systems with two heavy antiquarks bband two lighter quarks qq, where q ∈ {u, d, s, c}. The existence of bound states has been extensively investigated in the recent past by combining static lattice QCD potentials and the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In a first step we have computed potentials V(r) of two static antiquarks Q Qin the presence of two lighter quarks qq, where q ∈ {u, d, s, c}, using lattice QCD [2, 4]. There are both attractive and repulsive channels. The lattice QCD results for the potentials can be parametrized by a screened Coulomb potential, V(r) = − α e−r2/d2. [5, 7,8,9]) or for resonances (cf. sections 3 and 4 )
