Exploring open-charm decay mode of charmonium-like state
The newly observed exotic states are definitely not in the standard
structures, thus their existence composes a challenge to our
understanding on the fundamental principles of hadron physics. Therefore the
studies on their decay patterns which are determined by the non-perturbative
QCD will definitely shed light on the concerned physics. Generally the
four-quark states might be in a molecular state or tetraquark or their mixture.
In this work, we adopt the suggestion that is a charmonium-like
tetraquark made of a diquark and an anti-diquark. If it is true, its favorable
decay mode should be decaying into an open-charm baryon pair, since
such a transition occurs via strong interaction and is super-OZI-allowed. In
this work, we calculate the decay width of
in the framework of the quark pair creation (QPC) model. Our numerical results
on the partial width computed in the tetraquark configuration coincide with the
Belle data within a certain error tolerance.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Accepted by Eur. Phys. J.
