abstract

Very recently the LHCb Collaboration reported the discovery of two open charm tetraquark states, $X_{0}(2866)$ and $X_{1}(2904)$. In the present work, we study the $D^{(\ast)}$ and $\bar{K}^{(\ast)}$ interaction in the one-boson exchange model and show that the $X_{0}(2866)$ can be understood as a $D^{\ast}\bar{K}^{\ast}$ molecule with $I(J^{P})=0(0^{+})$, or at least it has a large molecular component. On the other hand, the $X_{1}(2904)$ can not be interpreted as a molecular state. Inspired by the discovery of the $X_0(2866)$ and the fact that the $D^*\bar{K}^*$ interaction is strong enough to generate a bound state, we also discuss likely existence of other open charm molecules. In the meson-meson sector, two molecules near the mass thresholds of $DD^{\ast}$ and $D^{\ast}D^{\ast}$ with $I(J^{P})=0(1^{+})$ are obtained, and using the heavy quark flavor symmetry their $\bar{B}\bar{B}^{\ast}$ and $\bar{B}^{\ast}\bar{B}^{\ast}$ counterparts are also predicted. In the meson-baryon sector, 7 open charm molecules with $I=1/2$ near the mass thresholds of $D^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ naturally appear, as dictated by the heavy quark spin symmetry.

    A hybrid quark model with gluon and meson exchange predicts that LHCb's T-c̄s̄0(2870) and T-cs̄0(2900) are compact tetraquarks, and that Ds0(2317), Ds1(2460), Tbs(5568), and Tcs(2327) are not.

    A constituent quark model with diffusion Monte Carlo identifies the LHCb Tcs0(2870) and Tcbar_s0(2900) as compact, excited flavor states with I=1, and predicts lower-mass ground flavor partners.
