Abstract

Lattice QCD allows us to probe the low-lying hadron spectrum in finite-volume using a basis of single- and multi-hadron interpolating operators. Here we examine the effect of including tetraquark operators on the spectrum in the scalar meson sectors containing the K0(700)K_0^*(700) (κ\kappa) and the a0(980)a_0(980) in Nf=2+1N_f = 2 + 1 QCD, with mπ230m_\pi \approx 230 MeV. Preliminary results of additional finite-volume states found using tetraquark operators are shown, and possible implications of these states are discussed.
