Abstract

In this exploratory study the spectrum of tetraquarks of type ccˉssˉc \bar c s \bar s is calculated within a simple quark model with chromomagnetic interaction and effective quark masses extracted from meson and baryon spectra. It is tempting to see if this spectrum can accommodate the resonance Y(4140), observed by the CDF collaboration, but not yet confirmed. The results seem to favour the JPC^{PC} = 1++^{++} sector where the coupling to the VV channel is nearly as small as that of X(3872), when described as a ccˉqqˉc \bar c q \bar q tetraquark. This suggests that Y(4140) could possibly be the strange partner of X(3872), in a tetraquark interpretation. However the sector JPC^{PC} = 0++^{++} cannot entirely be excluded. This work questions the practice of extracting effective quark masses containing spin independent contributions, from mesons and baryons, to be used in multiquark systems as well.
