A lattice study of light scalar tetraquarks

چکیده
The observed mass pattern of scalar resonances below 1 GeV gives preference to the tetraquark assignment over the conventional q̄q assignment for these states. We present a search for tetraquarks with isospins 0, 1/2, 1 in lattice QCD, where the isospin channels 1/2 and 1 have not been studied before. We determine three energy levels in each isospin channel using the variational method. The scattering states and possible tetraquark states are distinguished by considering the volume-dependence of spectral weights and by considering the time-dependence of correlators near t ≃ T/2. We find no indication for light tetraquarks at our range of pion masses 344− 576 MeV.

Despite the apparent simplicity of meson spectroscopy, light scalar mesons cannot be accommodated in the usual q ¯ q structure. We study the description of the scalar mesons below 2 GeV in terms of the mixing of a chiral nonet of tetraquarks with conventional q ¯ q states. A strong diquark-antidiquark component is found for several states. The consideration of a glueball as dictated by quenched...

We study the light scalar mesons a0(980) and κ using N f = 2+ 1+ 1 flavor lattice QCD. In order to probe the internal structure of these scalar mesons, and in particular to identify, whether a sizeable tetraquark component is present, we use a large set of operators, including diquarkantidiquark, mesonic molecule and two-meson operators. The inclusion of disconnected diagrams, which are technic...
متن کاملLattice QCD signal for a bottom-bottom tetraquark
Utilizing lattice QCD results for the potential of two static antiquarks and two dynamical quarks as well as quark model techniques for the dynamics of two heavy antiquarks in a cloud of two light quarks, we are provided with an accurate framework for the study of possibly existing heavy-heavylight-light tetraquarks. Among the possible quantum numbers of such a system, we find binding in only o...
