Abstract

The newly observed Z+(4433)Z^+ (4433) resonance by BELLE is believed to be a tetraquark bound state made up of (cu)(cˉdˉ)(cu)(\bar c \bar d). We propose the bottomed analog of this bound state, namely, by replacing one of the charm quarks by a bottom quark, thus forming Zbc0,±,±±Z_{bc}^{0, \pm, \pm\pm}. One of the ZbcZ_{bc} is doubly charged. The predicted mass of ZbcZ_{bc} is around 7.6 GeV. This doubly-charged bound state can be detected by its decay into Bc±π±B_c^\pm \pi^\pm. Similarly, we can also replace both charm quark and antiquark of the Z+(4433)Z^+ (4433) by bottom quark and antiquark, respectively, thus forming ZbbZ_{bb} the bottomonium analog of Z+(4433)Z^+ (4433). The predicted mass of ZbbZ_{bb} is about 10.7 GeV.
