TL;DR

This study uses QCD sum rules to investigate fully-light vector tetraquark states with explicit P-wave configurations, predicting their masses and supporting potential identifications with known exotic mesons.

Contribution

It introduces a novel application of QCD sum rules to fully-light vector tetraquark states with explicit P-wave, providing mass predictions and possible identifications with observed states.

Findings

Identified a potential tetraquark state at 2.16 GeV linked to Y/phi(2175)

Predicted masses for $qsar{q}ar{s}$ and $ssar{s}ar{s}$ states at 2.20-2.40 GeV

Mass predictions for fully-strange vector tetraquarks around 2.16-3.16 GeV

Abstract

In this paper, we apply the QCD sum rules to study the vector fully-light tetraquark states with an explicit P-wave between the diquark and antidiquark pair. We observed that the $C\gamma_\alpha\otimes\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{\partial}_\mu\otimes\gamma^\alpha C$ (or $C\gamma_\alpha\otimes\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}D_\mu\otimes\gamma^\alpha C$) type current with fully-strange quarks couples potentially to a tetraquark state with the mass $2.16 \pm 0.14 \,\rm{GeV}$, which supports assigning the $Y/\phi(2175)$ as the diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark state with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. The $qs\bar{q}\bar{s}$ and $ss\bar{s}\bar{s}$ vector tetraquark states with the structure $C\gamma_\mu\otimes \stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{\partial}_\alpha \otimes\gamma^\alpha C + C\gamma^\alpha \otimes\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{\partial}_\alpha \otimes\gamma_\mu$ (or $C\gamma_\mu\otimes \stackrel{\leftrightarrow}D_\alpha \otimes\gamma^\alpha C + C\gamma^\alpha \otimes\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}D_\alpha \otimes\gamma_\mu$) are consistent with the $X(2200)$ and $X(2400)$ respectively, which lie in the region $2.20$ to $2.40\,\rm{GeV}$. The central values of the masses of the fully-strange vector tetraquark states with an explicit P-wave are about $2.16-3.13\,\rm{GeV}$ (or $2.16-3.16\,\rm{GeV}$), and the predictions for other fully-light vector tetraquark states with and without hidden-strange are also presented.
