Tetraquark particle in the string model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We discuss possibility of the existence of tetraquark states made of four quarks in the string (flux tube) model. The new particle is composed of a diquark and an anti-diquark which are connected by a color flux. It is shown that the vibrational and rotational excited states of the string explain some non-qˉq\bar{q}q mesons observed experimentally. Moreover we discuss the decay widths of such tetraquarks with the use of the Schwinger mechanism.
