Light tetraquark state at nonzero temperature

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-12-17 v1

Abstract

We study the implications of a light tetraquark on the chiral phase transition at nonzero temperature TT: The behavior of the chiral and four-quark condensates and the meson masses are studied in the scenario in which the resonance f0(600)f_{0}(600) is described as a predominantly tetraquark state. It is shown that the critical temperature is lowered and the transition softened. Interesting mixing effects between tetraquark, and quarkonium configurations take place.
