Exotic molecular states and tetraquark states with J^P =0⁺, 1⁺, 2⁺ *

Abstract

Abstract We have calculated the mass spectra for the molecular states and tetraquark states with . The masses of the axial-vector , molecular states and , tetraquark states are predicted to be approximately 3.98 GeV, in good agreement with the mass of from BESIII. In both the molecular and diquark-antidiquark scenarios, our results suggest that there may exist two almost degenerate states, as the strange partners of and . We propose to carefully examine in future experiments to verify this. One may also search for more hidden-charm four-quark states with strangeness in not only the open-charm channels but also the hidden-charm channels , .
