Four-quark states from functional methods

Joshua Hoffer, Christian S. Fischer

The discovery of four-quark states attracted a lot of attention from the theoretical as well as the experimental side. To study their properties from QCD we use a functional framew…

Four-quark states with charm quarks in a two-body Bethe-Salpeter approach

Nico Santowsky, Christian S. Fischer

We study the internal structure of a range of four-quark states with charm quark contributions using a two-body Bethe-Salpeter equation. Thereby, we examine charmonium-like states…

The light scalars: four- vs. two-quark states in the complex energy plane from Bethe-Salpeter equations

Nico Santowsky, Christian S. Fischer

We study the dynamical generation of scalar mesons in the light quark sector () and calculate the masses and widths for the and . To th…

Reply to comment on "The -meson: four-quark vs. two-quark components and decay width in a Bethe-Salpeter approach"

Nico Santowsky, Gernot Eichmann, Christian S. Fischer +2

In a recent comment [1] Blankleider and Kvinikhidze claim that our work [2] is based on a set of inconsistent Bethe-Salpeter equations for the coupling of four-quark to two-quark s…

Four-quark states from functional methods

Gernot Eichmann, Christian S. Fischer, Walter Heupel +2

In this feature article we summarise and highlight aspects of the treatment of four-quark states with functional methods. Model approaches to those exotic mesons almost inevitably…

The -meson: four-quark vs. two-quark components and decay width in a Bethe-Salpeter approach

Nico Santowsky, Gernot Eichmann, Christian S. Fischer +2

We study the dynamical generation of resonances in isospin singlet channels with mixing between two- and four-quark states. To this end we generalise a Bethe-Salpeter approach to f…
