Abstract

In the QCD sum rules for the tetraquark (molecular) states, the higher dimensional vacuum condensates play an important role in extracting the tetraquark masses. We carry out the operator product expansion up to the vacuum condensates of dimension-10 and observe that the vacuum condensates of dimensions 66, 88 and 1010 have the same expressions but opposite signs for the Cγ5γμCC\gamma_5\otimes \gamma_\mu C-type and CγμCC\otimes \gamma_\mu C type four-quark currents, which make their influences distinguishable, and they are excellent channels to examine the vacuum saturation approximation. We introduce a parameter κ\kappa to parameterize the derivation from the vacuum saturation or factorization approximation, and choose two sets parameters to examine the influences on the predicted tetraquark masses, which can be confronted to the experimental data in the future. In all the channels, smaller value of the κ\kappa leads to better convergent behavior in the operator product expansion, which favors the vacuum saturation approximation.
