The $Z_b$ structures in a constituent quark model coupled-channels calculation
Abstract
The and are two bottomonium-like structures discovered in the , and invariant mass spectra, where and . Their nature is puzzling due to their charge, which forces its minimal quark content to be (). Thus, it is necessary to explore four-quark systems in order to understand their inner structure. Additionally, their strong coupling to channels such as and the closeness of their mass to -thresholds stimulates a molecular interpretation. Within the framework of a constituent quark model which satisfactorily describes a wide range of properties of (non-)conventional hadrons containing heavy quarks, we perform a coupled-channels calculation of the hidden-bottom sector including , , and channels. We analyze the line shapes in the different channels, describing the by means of the model. Since our description of the line shapes promising, we perform the same coupled-channels calculation for the 's with , where . This allows us to obtain a fair description of the corresponding line shapes. The study of the analytic structure of the -matrix suggests that the experimental structures arise as a combination of several poles with , and quantum numbers nearby the and thresholds.
