$T_{bc\bar s}$ states in the process $\Upsilon \to D^{-} \bar B^{0} D_s^{+}$
Abstract
We perform a theoretical study of the decay process in search of the doubly heavy tetraquark states with quark content . These states are assumed to be dynamically generated molecular states from the S-wave interactions between and meson pairs. Based on the total angular momentum and the type of the constituent mesons (pseudoscalars or vectors ), they are labeled as , , and , respectively. The invariant mass distribution for this decay is calculated using current algebra, incorporating contributions from states arising from final-state interactions. Our results reveal a clear peak structure in the MeV region, which is attributed to the state. Additionally, a distinct dip structure appears near the threshold, characteristic of the as a hadronic molecular state. A near-threshold enhancement associated with the state and a dip arising from the state are also identified, though the manifestation of these features depends sensitively on model parameter fine-tuning. Therefore, with increased experimental statistics, the decay channel offers a promising avenue for discovering and characterizing the states.
