In this work, we study systematically the mass splittings of the $qq\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$ ($q=u$, $d$, $s$ and $Q=c$, $b$) tetraquark states with the color-magnetic interaction by considering color mixing effects and estimate roughly their masses. We find that the color mixing effect is relatively important for the $J^P=0^+$ states and possible stable tetraquarks exist in the $nn\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$ ($n=u$, $d$) and $ns\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$ systems either with $J=0$ or with $J=1$. Possible decay patterns of the tetraquarks are briefly discussed.

  1. Electromagnetic form factors and structure of the $T_{bb}$ tetraquark from lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Lattice QCD on one ensemble yields electromagnetic form factors for T_bb, indicating a compact heavy diquark plus light antidiquark bound state with charge radius smaller than the BB* threshold.

  2. $T^a_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)$, $T_{cs0}^*(2870)^0$, and other singly-heavy tetraquark states

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A mass splitting model anchored to X(4140) interprets LHCb's T^a_c sbar0(2900) and T_cs0*(2870)^0 as particular singly-heavy tetraquarks and forecasts several narrow states.
