Abstract

The masses of exotic quantum-number compact tetraquark states are calculated in a constituent quark model, where a Cornell-like potential is employed as the central potential, spin-spin and spin-orbit coupling derived from the Breit-Fermi interaction are treated as hyperfine corrections, and model parameters are taken from previous works. The ground state P-wave tetraquarks are predicted at 1.9, 4.2, and 6.6~GeV for the light, charmonium-like, and fully-charm sectors, respectively. The decay width ratios of tetraquark states are calculated for two-body strong decay channels within the rearrangement mechanism, including and for isospin light tetraquarks, and for isospin light tetraquarks, and for charmonium-like tetraquarks, and and for fully-charm tetraquarks. The theoretical results are compared with the observed exotic states, and promising search channels for tetraquarks are discussed. The work suggests that is unlikely to be a compact tetraquark state.
