The discovery of some baryon-antibaryon resonances has led us to consider 3q~3\bar{q} systems as possible candidates. We predict their spectrum in the framework of a constituent model, where the chromo-magnetic interaction plays the main role. The relevant parameters are fixed by the present knowledge on tetraquarks. The emerging scenario complies well with experiment. Besides the description of the baryon-antibaryon resonances, we find evidence for new tetraquark states, namely the a0(Y) in the hidden strangeness sector and, in the cs\bar{c}\bar{s} sector, the Y(4140) and the X(4350). A detailed account of the spectra and the decay channels is provided for future comparisons with data.

  1. Fully-strange tetraquarks: fall-apart decays and experimental candidates

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Fully-strange tetraquarks mostly show narrow fall-apart decay widths of O(10) MeV, with X(2300) possibly matching the 1S-wave 1^{+-} state at 2323 MeV and X(2500) the 1P-wave 0^{-+} state at 2481 MeV.
