Open-charm tetraquark $X_c$ and open-bottom tetraquark $X_b$
Abstract
Motivated by the LHCb observation of exotic states with four open quark flavors in the invariant mass distribution in the decay channel , 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 and an orbitally excited tetraquark with , respectively. We then explore the mass and decays of the other flavor-open tetraquarks made of and , which are in the or representation of the flavor SU(3) group. We point that these two states can be found through the decays: , and . We also apply our analysis to open bottom tetraquark and predict their masses. The open-flavored can be discovered through the following decays: , , and .
