Doubly charged vector tetraquark

arXiv:2105.00081

Abstract

We explore properties of the doubly charged vector tetraquark built of four quarks of different flavors using the QCD sum rule methods. The mass and current coupling of are computed in the framework of the QCD two-point sum rule approach by taking into account quark, gluon and mixed vacuum condensates up to dimension . The full width of this tetraquark is saturated by -wave , and -wave decays. Strong couplings required to find partial widths of aforementioned decays are calculated in the context of the QCD light-cone sum rule method and a soft-meson approximation. Our predictions for the mass and full width of are useful to search for this exotic meson in various processes. Recently, the LHCb collaboration discovered neutral states as resonance-like peaks in invariant mass distribution in the decay . We argue that mass distribution of mesons in the same decay can be used to observe the doubly charged scalar and vector tetraquarks.
