Abstract

We systematically investigate the S-wave singly heavy tetraquark systems containing two or three strange quarks, QssˉsˉQs\bar{s}\bar{s}, QnsˉsˉQn\bar{s}\bar{s} and Qssˉnˉ(Q=c,b,n=u,d)Qs\bar{s}\bar{n}\left( Q=c,b,n=u,d \right) , within the constituent quark potential model. We solve the four-body Schr\"odinger equation using the Gaussian expansion method (GEM) and identify resonances via the complex scaling method (CSM). There are no bound states below the lowest two-meson thresholds. We obtain several compact resonances with JP=0+,2+J^P=0^+,2^+ in QssˉsˉQs\bar{s}\bar{s}, and JP=2+J^P=2^+ in QnsˉsˉQn\bar{s}\bar{s} and QssˉnˉQs\bar{s}\bar{n}. The pole positions are mainly distributed around 7.07.27.0-7.2 GeV (bottom) and 3.73.93.7-3.9 GeV (charm), with widths from a few to several tens of MeV. These resonances decay into Dsη,D(s)ϕ,DsKD_s\eta ^\prime ,{D_{(s)}^*}\phi ,{D_s}^*K^* and DsKˉD_s^*\bar{K}^* (and their bottom counterparts), providing targets for future experimental searches.
