Abstract

Using the color-magnetic interaction Hamiltonian with SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking, we perform a schematic study of the masses of the JP=1+J^P=1^+ tetraquarks in the anti-decuplet representation. After diagonalizing the mass matrix, we find the udsˉsˉud\bar s\bar s tetraquark lies around 1347 MeV. It decays into K+K0π0,K+K+π,K0K0π+K^+K^0\pi^0, K^+K^+\pi^-, K^0K^0\pi^+ via P-wave. The dual suppression from the not-so-big three-body phase space and P-wave decay barrier may render this exotic state rather narrow. Future experimental exclusion of this state will cast doubt on the validity of applying the simple color-magnetic Hamiltonian to the multiquark system.
