Abstract
The strong and radiative decay properties of the low-lying states are studied in a constituent quark model. We find that the newly observed states by the LHCb Collaboration can fit in well the decay patterns. Thus, their spin-parity can be possibly assigned as the following: (i) The has and corresponds to the narrow mixed state , its partner should be a broad state with a width of MeV. (ii) The and can be assigned to be two states, and , respectively. (iii) The can be assigned as the state with . (iv) The might correspond to one of the two states of the first radial excitations, i.e. or .
