Functional methods for hadron spectroscopy
Abstract
We summarize recent results for four-quark states with hidden and open flavor obtained from a four-quark Bethe-Salpeter/Faddeev-Yakubowsky equation. The approach dynamically predicts the leading internal two-body clusters such as meson-meson, hadroquarkonium or diquark-antidiquark components. For hidden-flavor states, the meson-meson or hadroquarkonium configurations are dominant, while the diquark contributions are small. For open-flavor states, the situation is different and depends on the quark content: The is a mixture of various components, where the diquark-antidiquark components are dominant, whereas the is practically entirely dominated by due to its proximity to the threshold. We also provide details on the analytic continuations and extrapolations to extract states above thresholds.
