Axial-vector and pseudoscalar tetraquarks $[ud][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ (2206.05004v3)

Abstract: Spectroscopic parameters and widths of the fully open-flavor axial-vector and pseudoscalar tetraquarks $X_{\mathrm{AV}}$ and $X_{\mathrm{PS}}$ with content $[ud][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$ are calculated by means of the QCD sum rule methods. Masses and current couplings of $X_{\mathrm{AV}}$ and $X_{ \mathrm{PS}}$ are found using two-point sum rule computations performed by taking into account various vacuum condensates up to dimension $10$. The full width of the axial-vector state $X_{\mathrm{AV}}$ is evaluated by including into analysis $S$-wave decay modes $X_{\mathrm{AV}}\to D^{\ast }(2010)^{-}K^{+}$, $\overline{D}^{\ast }(2007)^{0}K^{0}$, $D^{-}K^{\ast }(892)^{+}$, and $\overline{D}^{0}K^{\ast }(892)^{0}$. In the case of $X_{ \mathrm{PS}}$, we consider $S$-wave decay $X_{\mathrm{PS}}\to \overline{D} {0}^{\ast }(2300)^{0}K^{0}$, and $P$-wave processes $X{\mathrm{PS}}\to D^{-}K^{\ast}(892)^{+}$ and $X_{\mathrm{PS}}\to \overline{D} ^{0}K^{\ast}(892)^{0}$. To determine partial widths of these decay modes, we employ the QCD light-cone sum rule method and soft-meson approximation, which are necessary to estimate strong couplings at tetraquark-meson-meson vertices $X_{\mathrm{AV}}D^{-}D^{\ast }(2010)^{-}K^{+} $, etc. Our predictions for the mass $m_{\mathrm{AV}}=(2800 \pm 75)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $\Gamma_{\mathrm{AV}}=(58 \pm 10)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the tetraquark $X_{ \mathrm{AV}}$, as well as results $m_{\mathrm{PS}}=(3000 \pm 60)~\mathrm{MeV} $ and $\Gamma_{\mathrm{PS}}=(65 \pm 12)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for the same parameters of $X_{\mathrm{PS}}$ may be useful in future experimental studies of multiquark hadrons.
