$Z_c(4430)$ and $Z_c(4200)$ as triangle singularities
Abstract
discovered by the Belle and confirmed by the LHCb in is generally considered to be a charged charmonium-like state that includes minimally two quarks and two antiquarks. found in by the Belle is also a good candidate of a charged charmonium-like state. We demonstrate that kinematical singularities in triangle loop diagrams induce a resonance-like behavior that can consistently explain the properties (mass, width, and Argand plot) of and from the experimental analyses. The triangle diagrams include only experimentally well-established hadrons. Applying this idea to , we also identify triangle singularities that behave like , but no triangle diagram is available for . This is consistent with the LHCb's finding that their description of the data is significantly improved by including a contribution while seems to hardly contribute. Even though the proposed mechanisms have uncertainty in the absolute strengths which are currently difficult to estimate, they are certainly a compelling alternative to tetraquark-based interpretations of and .
