How can $X^{\pm}(5568)$ escape detection?
Abstract
Multi-quark states were predicted by Gell-Mann when the quark model was first formulated. Recently, numerous exotic states that are considered to be multi-quark states have been experimentally confirmed (four-quark mesons and five-quark baryons). Theoretical research indicates that the four-quark state might comprise molecular and/or tetraquark structures. We consider that the meson containing four different flavors should exist and decay via the channel. However, except for the D0 collaboration, all other experimental collaborations have reported negative observations for in this golden portal. This contradiction has stimulated the interest of both theorists and experimentalists. To address this discrepancy, we propose that the assumed is a mixture of a molecular state and tetraquark, which contributes destructively to . The cancellation may be accidental and it should be incomplete. In this scenario, there should be two physical states with the same flavor ingredients, with spectra of and . lies in the error range of the first state. We predict the width of the second state (designated as ) as MeV. We strongly suggest searching for it in future experiments.
