Width of the exotic $X_b(5568)$ state through its strong decay to $B_s^{0} π^{+}$

Abstract: The width of the newly observed exotic state $X_b(5568)$ is calculated via its dominant strong decay to using the QCD sum rule method on the light-cone in conjunction with the soft-meson approximation. To this end, the vertex $X_{b}B_{s}\pi$ is studied and the strong coupling $g_{X_{b}B_{s}\pi}$ is computed employing for $X_b(5568)$ state the interpolating diquark-antidiquark current of the $[su][\overline{b}\overline{d}]$ type. The obtained prediction for the decay width of $X_b(5568)$ is confronted and a nice agreement found with the experimental data of the D0 Collaboration.
