Abstract

We investigate the recent evidence for a charged meson as an exotic open-flavor tetraquark state with in the framework of QCD sum rules. We use the color antisymmetric tetraquark currents in both scalar and axial-vector channels to perform evaluations and numerical analyses. Our results imply that the can be interpreted as both the scalar tetraquark state and the axial-vector one, which are in good agreement with the experimental measurement. We also discuss the possible decay patterns of the and suggest to search for its neutral partner in the radiative decay into and , which can be used to determine its spin-parity quantum numbers. Moreover, we predict its charmed partner state around GeV with the quark content and .
