Abstract

Motivated by the LHCb observation of exotic states X0,1(2900)X_{0,1}(2900) with four open quark flavors in the DK+D^- K^+ invariant mass distribution in the decay channel B±D+DK±B^\pm \to D^+ D^- K^\pm, we study the spectrum and decay properties of the open charm tetraquarks. Using the two-body chromomagnetic interactions, we find that the two newly observed states can be interpreted as a radial excited tetraquark with JP=0+J^P=0^+ and an orbitally excited tetraquark with JP=1J^P=1^-, respectively. We then explore the mass and decays of the other flavor-open tetraquarks made of sudˉcˉsu \bar d \bar c and dsuˉcˉ d s \bar u \bar c, which are in the 6ˉ\bar 6 or 1515 representation of the flavor SU(3) group. We point that these two states can be found through the decays: Xdsuˉcˉ()(DK,Dsπ)X^{(\prime)}_{d s \bar{u}\bar{c}}\to (D^- K^-, D_s^- \pi ^-) , and Xsudˉcˉ()Dsπ+X^{(\prime)}_{s u \bar{d}\bar{c}}\to D_s^-\pi ^+ . We also apply our analysis to open bottom tetraquark XbX_b and predict their masses. The open-flavored XbX_b can be discovered through the following decays: XudsˉbˉB0K+X_{ud\bar s\bar{b}}\to B^0K^+, Xdsuˉbˉ()(B0K,Bs0π)X^{(\prime)}_{d s \bar{u}\bar{b}}\to (B^0 K^-, B_s^0 \pi ^-) , and Xsudˉbˉ()Bs0π+X^{(\prime)}_{s u \bar{d}\bar{b}}\to B_s^0\pi ^+ .
