Testing the doubly charged charm-strange tetraquarks
Abstract
The spectroscopic parameters and decay channels of the doubly charged scalar, pseudoscalar and axial-vector charm-strange tetraquarks Z_{ \overline{c}s}=[sd][\overline{u} \overline{c}] are explored within framework of the QCD sum rule method. The masses and current couplings of these diquark-antidiquark states are calculated by means of two-point correlation functions and taking into account the vacuum condensates up to eight dimensions. To compute the strong couplings of Z_{\overline{c}s} states with D, Ds, D^{*}, Ds^{*}, D_{s1}(2460), D_{s0}^{*}(2317), π and K mesons we use QCD light-cone sum rules and evaluate width of their S- and P-wave decays to a pair of negatively charged conventional mesons: For the scalar state Z_{\overline{c}s}→ D_s π , DK, D_{s1}(2460)π , for the pseudoscalar state Z_{\overline{c}s} → Ds^{*}π , D^{*}K, D_{s0}^{*}(2317)π , and for the axial-vector state Z_{\overline{c}s} → Ds^{*}π , D^{*}K, D_{s1}(2460)π decays are investigated. Obtained predictions for the spectroscopic parameters and decay widths of the Z_{\overline{c}s} tetraquarks may be useful for experimental investigations of the doubly charged exotic hadrons.
