Abstract

We present improved estimates of the couplings, masses and mass ratios of the XQ,ZQX_Q, Z_Q and TQQqˉqˉT_{QQ\bar q\bar q'} states using (inverse) QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR), their ratios R{\cal R} and double ratios (DRSR), within stability criteria. We conclude that the observed Xc(3872)X_c(3872) and Zc(3900)Z_c(3900) are tetramoles states (superposition of quasi-degenerated molecule and tetraquark states having similar couplings to the currents) with the predicted masses: MTXc=3876(44)M_{{\cal T}_{X_c}}=3876(44) MeV and MTZc=3900(42)M_{{\cal T}_{Z_c}}=3900(42) MeV. We also do an extensive analysis of the four-quark nature of different TQQqˉqˉT_{QQ\bar q\bar q'} axial-vector states. Then, combining R{\cal R} and DRSR, we reanalyze the observed state Xc(3872)X_c(3872) and we obtain a precise prediction of MTcc1+M_{T_{cc}^{1^+}}=3886(6) MeV. Extending to the beauty sector, we find the results: MTZb=10579(99)M_{{\cal T}_{Z_b}}=10579(99) MeV and MXb=10545(131)M_{X_b}=10545(131) MeV. Finally, we confront our combined LSR \oplus DRSR results with the ones from some other approaches (lattices and quark models).
