  • We systematically investigate the mass spectrum, spatial configuration and magnetic moment of the ground and p-wave states [cu][c¯s¯] with various color-spin configurations in a multiquark color flux-tube model. Numerical results indicate that the state Zcs(4000)+ can be described as the compact state [cu][c¯s¯] with 13S1. Its main color-spin configuration is [cu]6c1[c¯s¯]6¯c1 and its magnetic moment is 0.73μN. The state Zcs(4220)+ can be depicted as the compact state [cu][c¯s¯] with 11P1 (or 13P1). Its main color-spin configuration is [cu]3¯c0[c¯s¯]3c0 (or [cu]3¯c0[c¯s¯]3c1) and its magnetic moment is 0.12μN (or 0.64μN). The physical state should be the mixture of these two different color-spin configurations and deserves further investigation. In addition, we also predict the properties of the states [cu][c¯s¯] with other quantum numbers in the model.

  • In 2020, the BESIII collaboration studied the processes of e+eK+DsD*0 and K+D*sD0 reactions and observed an enhancement near the thresholds of DsD*0 and D*sD0,[1] called Zcs(3985). It is the first candidate for the charged hidden charm tetraquark state with strangeness and its mass and width in MeV are
    Zcs(3985):M=3982.5±2.1+1.82.6,Γ=12.8+5.34.4±3.0.

    It was suggested as a spin parity of 1+. However, other spin-parity assignments cannot be excluded. In 2021, the LHCb collaboration reported two exotic structures Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+ in the J/ψ K+ invariant mass spectrum of the B+J/ψϕK decay.[2] The mass and width of the state Zcs(4000)+ were measured to be
    Zcs(4000)+:M=4003±6+414,Γ=131±15±26.

    Its spin parity was determined to be JP = 1+ with a high significance. The states Zcs(3985) and Zcs(4000)+ have comparable mass while their widths differ by an order of magnitude. The mass and width of the state Zcs(4220)+ in MeV are
    Zcs(4220)+:M=4216±24+4330,Γ=233±52+9773.

    Its spin parity may be either 1+ or 1. The smallest quark content is cˉcsˉu for the state Zcs(3985) and is cˉcuˉs for the states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+.

    The investigation on their structure and property could help us to improve the understanding of the strong interactions and its underlying theory, quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Prior to the BESIII and LHCb experiments, the states had been explored with the hadronic molecular picture,[3] the compact tetraquark picture,[4,5] the hadro-quarkonium picture,[6] and the initial-single-chiral-particle-emission mechanism.[7] After the experiments, the states have been further researched within various theoretical frameworks.[816] Especially, whether the states Zcs(3895) and Zcs(4000)+ are two different states or not and how to understand their inner structures have attracted wide attention from the theoretical side.[1720] Their most popular interpretation is describing them as two different pictures: compact tetraquark states with different JP (Refs. [8,11]) or molecular states DD*s and D*Ds.[16,18] More comprehensive descriptions on the states can be found in the latest review of the new hadron states.[21]

    In this work, we prepare to perform a systematic investigation on the mass spectrum, spatial configuration and magnetic moment of the ground and p-wave states [cu][ˉcˉs] within the framework of the multiquark color flux-tube model (MCFTM). We anticipate to broaden the insight of the property and structure of the states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+ from the perspective of the MCFTM. We also hope that this work can improve the understanding of the mechanism of the low-energy strong interaction.

    In this Letter, first we present the descriptions of the multiquark color flux-tube model. Then, we provide the trial wave functions of the state [cu][ˉcˉs]. The numerical results and discussions are given. Finally, a brief summary is presented.

    Multiquark Color Flux-Tube Model. The MCFTM has been developed on the basis of the color flux-tube picture in the lattice QCD[22] and the chiral quark model.[23] The model Hamiltonian includes one-gluon-exchange (OGE), one-boson-exchange (OBE), σ-meson exchange, and a multibody confinement potential depending on the color flux-tube structure. The complete Hamiltonian for mesons and the tetraquark states reads
    Hn=ni=1(mi+p2i2mi)Tc+ni>jVij+VCON(n),Vij=VOGEij+VOBEij+Vσij.

    (1)
    In the state [cu][ˉcˉs], the codes of c, u, ˉc and ˉs are assumed to be 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively; pi and mi are the momentum and mass of the i-th quark (antiquark), respectively; Tc is the center-of-mass kinetic energy of the states and should be deducted. From the non-relativistic reduction of the OGE diagram in QCD for the point-like quarks, one gets
    VOGEij=αs4λciλcj(1rij2πδ(rij)σiσj3mimj),

    (2)
    where λi and σi are the color SU(3) Gell-Mann matrices and the Pauli matrices, respectively. The Dirac δ(rij) function should be regularized in the form[23]
    δ(rij)14πrijr20(μij)erijr0(μij),

    (3)
    where r0(μij) = r0/μij, r0 is an adjustable model parameter, and μij is the reduced mass of two interacting particles i and j. The quark-gluon coupling constant αs adopts an effective scale-dependent form
    αs(μ2ij)=α0ln(μ2ij/Λ20),

    (4)
    where Λ0 and α0 are adjustable model parameters.
    The origin of the constituent quark mass can be traced back to the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. Chiral symmetry breaking suggests dividing quarks into two different sectors: light quarks (u, d, and s) where the chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken and heavy quarks (c and b) where the symmetry is explicitly broken. The OBE interactions only occur in the light quark sector. The central parts of the interactions originating from chiral symmetry breaking can be resumed as follows:[23]
    VOBEij=Vπij3k=1FkiFkj+VKij7k=4FkiFkj+Vηij(F8iF8jcosθPsinθP),Vχij=g2ch4πm3χ12mimjΛ2χΛ2χm2χσiσj×[Y(mχrij)Λ3χm3χY(Λχrij)],χ=π,K,η,Vσij=g2ch4πΛ2σmσΛ2σm2σ[Y(mσrij)ΛσmσY(Λσrij)].

    (5)
    The mass parameters mχ take their experimental values, while the cutoff parameters Λχ and the mixing angles θP take the values from Ref. [23]. The mass parameter mσ can be determined with the PCAC relation m2σm2π+4m2u,d.[24] The chiral coupling constant gch can be obtained from the πNN coupling constant by
    g2ch4π=(35)2g2πNN4πm2u,dm2N.

    (6)
    Finally, any model imitating QCD should incorporate the nonperturbative color confinement effect. For an ordinary meson, the quark and anti-quark are connected by a three-dimensional color flux tube. Its confinement potential can be written as
    VCON(2)=kr2,

    (7)
    where r is the separation of the quark and anti-quark, and k is the stiffness of a three-dimensional color flux tube.
    According to the double Y-shaped color flux-tube structure of the tetraquark state [c1u2][ˉc3ˉs4], the four-body quadratic confinement potential instead of the linear one used in the lattice QCD can be written as
    VCON(4)=k[(r1y12)2+(r2y12)2+(r3y34)2+(r4y34)2+κd(y12y34)2],

    (8)
    where r1, r2, r3, and r4 are the particle’s positions; κdk is the stiffness of a d-dimensional color flux tube.[25] Two Y-shaped junctions y12 and y34 are variational parameters, which can be determined by taking the minimum of the confinement potential VCON(4). Taking the values of y12 and y34 into the VCON(4), one can express the minimum as
    VCON(4)=k(R21+R22+κd1+κdR23),

    (9)
    where Ri are a set of canonical coordinates and have the following forms:
    R1=12(r1r2),R2=12(r3r4),R3=12(r1+r2r3r4),R4=12(r1+r2+r3+r4).

    (10)
    Compared to the chiral quark model, the MCFTM merely modifies the sum of two-body confinement potential to a multi-body quadratic one. Relative to the lattice QCD, we replace the linear potential with the quadratic one. For the ground and low excited states, their sizes are generally less than or around 1 fm, in which the difference between the quadratic potential and the linear one is not obvious. The difference can be further diluted by the adjustable stiffness of color flux tube. Moreover, the quadratic confinement potential can greatly simplify the numerical calculation in the dynamical investigation on the multiquark states.
    Wave Functions. Within the framework of the diquark–antiquark configuration, the trial wave function of the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with I(JP) can be constructed as a sum of the following direct products of color φc, isospin φi, spin φs, and spatial ϕ terms:
    Φ[cu][ˉcˉs]IJ=αcα{[[ϕlama(ra)φsa]Ja[ϕlbmb(rb)φsb]Jb]Jab×ϕLM(ρ)}[cu][ˉcˉs]JMJ[φiaφib][cu][ˉcˉs]IMI[φcaφcb][cu][ˉcˉs]1c.

    (11)
    The subscripts a and b stand for the diquark [cu] and antidiquark [ˉcˉs], respectively. The square brackets imply all possible Clebsch–Gordan couplings. The summation index α represents all of possible channels and the coefficient cα is determined by the model dynamics.
    The color representations of the diquark [cu] can be antisymmetric ˉ3c and symmetric 6c. Those of the antidiquark [ˉcˉs] can be antisymmetric 3c and symmetric ˉ6c. The color configuration of the state [cu][ˉcˉs] can be written as
    (ˉ3c6c)(3cˉ6c)=(ˉ3c3c)1c8c(ˉ3cˉ6c)8c¯10c(6c3c)8c10c(6cˉ6c)1c8c27c.

    (12)
    According to the overall colorless requirement, only two coupling modes, [[cu]ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]3c]1c and [[cu]6c[ˉcˉs]ˉ6c]1c, are permitted. In general, the state should be the mixture of two modes. Both the diquark [cu] and antidiquark [ˉcˉs] can be in the spin singlet or triplet. The state [cu][ˉcˉs] with the total spin S can be denoted as [[cu]sb[ˉcˉs]sb]S, where S = sasb. In general, the diquark and antidiquark are a spatially extended compound with various color-flavor-spin-space configurations.[26] The Pauli principle does not act on the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs] because of no identical particles. Therefore, various color-spin configurations of the state [cu][cˉs] can be expressed as
    S=0:{[[cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉq]13c]01c,[[cu]06c[ˉcˉs]0ˉ6c]01c[[cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c]01c,[[cu]0ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c]01c,S=1:{{[[cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c]11c[[cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c]11c,[[cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c]11c,[[cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c]11c,[[cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c]11c,[[cu]06c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c]11c,S=2:[[cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c]21c[[cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c]21c,[[cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c]21c.

    In the spatial parts, we assume that both the diquark [cu] and antidiquark [ˉcˉs]In the spatial parts, we assume that both the diquark [cu] and antidiquark [cu][ˉcˉs] are in the ground states, i.e., la = lb = 0, and the angular excitation only occurs between them, denoted as L. Therefore, the p-parity of the state [cu][ˉcˉs] can be determined by (–1)L. In order to obtain reliable numerical results, the precision numerical method is indispensable. The Gaussian expansion method (GEM),[27] which has been proven to be rather powerful to solve the few-body problem, is therefore used in the present work. According to the GEM, the relative motion wave function can be written as
    ϕGlm(x)=nmaxn=1cnNnlxleνnx2Ylm(ˆx),

    (13)
    where x denotes the Jacobian coordinates ra, rb, and ρ,
    ra=r1r2,rb=r3r4,ρ=m1r1+m2r2m1+m2m3r3+m4r4m3+m4.

    (14)
    The Gaussian sizes νn are taken as geometric progression
    νn=1r2n,rn=r1dn1,d=(rmaxr1)1nmax1.

    (15)
    More details about the GEM can be found in Ref. [27]. In the present work, we can obtain the convergent results of the tetraquark state [cu][ˉcˉs] by taking nmax = 7, r1 = 0.1 fm, and rmax = 2.0 fm.

    Numerical Results and Discussions. Here we focus on the [cu][ˉcˉs] spectrum and candidate of Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+. Using the GEM, we can obtain the adjustable model parameters by solving the two-body Schrödinger equation to fit the ground state meson spectrum in the MCFTM. The values of the parameters and the ground state meson spectrum are presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.

    In the following, we concentrate on the natures of the ground and p-wave states [cu][ˉcˉs] with various color-spin combinations in the MCFTM. With the well-define trial wave functions, we can obtain the masses of the states by solving the four-body Schrödinger equation, as listed in Table 3. In order to realize the model dynamic effects, we calculate the contributions coming from each part in the model Hamiltonian using the corresponding eigenvectors, which are also listed in Table 3. The contributions originating from the π-and K-meson exchange interaction are universally equal to zero and therefore omitted. In addition, we also calculate the probability of each color-spin configuration [cu]saca[ˉcˉs]sbcb in the coupled channels, the average distances and magnetic moments.

    It can be found from Table 3 that the confinement potential 〈VCON〉 and meson-exchange interactions 〈Vη〉+〈Vσ〉 do not change obviously in each color-spin configuration. The differences among different color-spin configurations mainly come from the kinetic energy 〈Ek〉 and the OGE 〈VC〉 + 〈VCM〉. The stronger the OGE, the greater the kinetic energy, and the lower the mass of the state [cu][ˉcˉs]. The differences are about in the range of several tens to one hundred of MeV through the competition between the kinetic energy and the OGE. After considering the coupling of all color-spin configurations, the lowest configuration is further decreased with several tens of MeV mainly because of the OGE. Therefore, the C.C. mass is much lower (∼ 100–200 MeV) than those in the specific color-spin configuration. C.C. represents the coupling of all possible configurations.

    In Table 3, the r2cu12 and r2ˉcˉs12 represent the size of the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs], respectively. The r2cu,ˉcˉs12 stands for the distance between the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs]. Other distances between the quark (c or u) and the antiquark (ˉc or ˉs) are also presented. All of the distances are less than or around 1 fm so that the states [cu][ˉcˉs] should be a compact spatial configuration in the MCFTM. Such compact spatial configuration mainly comes from the dynamics of the systems: the color flux tubes shrink the distance between any two connected particles to a distance as short as possible to decrease the confinement potential energy, while the kinetic motion expands the distance between any two quarks to a distance as long as possible to reduce the kinetic energy: the compact spatial configuration meets these requirements. The four-body confinement potential based on the color flux tubes plays a crucial role in the formation of the compact spatial configuration.

    It can be found from Table 3 that the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11S0 has four color-spin configurations. Although the diquark [cu]16c and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c are not a “good” configuration,[28] the color-spin configuration [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c is dominant, reaching 57%, which is determined by the strong Coulomb interaction 〈VC〉 and color-magnetic interaction 〈VCM〉 because they can provide strong attraction. The interactions between the [cu]16c and the [ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c, especially the Coulomb interaction, are stronger than those of other color-spin configurations, which can be understood by means of the color matrix elements in Table 4 and color-spin matrix elements in Table 5. The stronger the interactions, the smaller the average distance between the [cu]16c and the [ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c, see r2cu,ˉcˉs12. The configuration [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c has the lowest mass of 4023 MeV. After considering the coupling of the four configurations, the mass can be further decreased to 3945 MeV.

    The state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 13S1 has six different color-spin configurations. Similar to the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11S0, the dominant color-spin configuration is still the [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c, reaching 34%, and has a mass of 4068 MeV in the MCFTM. The coupled mass of the six configurations is 4006 MeV, which is in good agreement with the data of the state Zcs(4000)+ reported by the LHCb collaboration. Therefore, the state Zcs(4000)+ can be described as the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 13S1 in the MCFTM. Its main component is the color-spin configuration [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c. On the whole, the color configuration 6cˉ6c prevails over ˉ3c3c in the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 13S1.

    The color-spin configurations of the p-wave states [cu][ˉcˉs] are exactly same as the ground states if they have the same spin structures. In strong contrast to the ground state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11S0, the strong Coulomb interaction and color-magnetic interaction rapidly decrease, especially the Coulomb interaction, in the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11P1 because the orbit excitation occurs between the [cu] and [ˉcˉs], see Table 3. Relative to the [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c, the strong Coulomb interaction and color-magnetic interaction in the [cu]0ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c decreases slowly. Therefore, the mass of the [cu]0ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c is much lower than that of the [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c. After the coupling of four color-spin configurations, the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11P1 has a mass of 4216 MeV and its main color-spin configuration is [cu]0ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c in the MCFTM. The mass is highly consistent with that of the state Zcs(4220)+ so that the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11P1 could be the candidate of the state Zcs(4220)+.

    In the p-wave states with 13P0,1,2, the spin-orbit interaction is not taken into account because it is just several MeV and does not change the qualitative conclusions.[29] Similar to the state with 11P1, the main color-spin configuration is [cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c in the states. The coupled mass is about 4242 MeV, which is also consistent with the value of the state Zcs(4220)+ within the range of errors. Alternatively, the state Zcs(4220)+ can be described as the state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 13P1 in the MCFTM if its JP is identified as 1. If so, the physical state should be the mixture of the 11P1 and 13P1 states. In the model study, the mixing can be induced by the spin-orbit interactions proportional to ˆS in the Hamiltonian,[23,30] which is left for the further study in the near future.

    Both the ground and p-wave states [cu][ˉcˉs] with S = 2 are also predicted in the MCFTM. In the ground state with 2+, the color-magnetic interactions in the [cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c and [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c are repulsive and their difference is very small, see Table 3. Similarly, the differences of their Coulomb interactions are also very small. The kinetic and confinement potential in the [cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c are slightly lower than those of the [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c. Therefore, their main component is the color-spin configuration [cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c. In the p-wave states with 15P1,2,3, their main color-spin configuration is also [cu]1ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c. The coupled masses of the ground and p-wave states [cu][ˉcˉs] with S = 2 are about 4124 MeV and 4290 MeV, respectively, which are far away from the states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+.

    The magnetic moments encode some useful information about the distributions of the charge and magnetization inside the hadrons, which can help us to understand their geometric configurations. The magnetic moment of a compound system is the sum of that of its constituents including spin and orbital contributions:[31,32]
    μ=iμi=i(gisi+li)μi;

    (16)
    gi and μi are, respectively, the Lande factor and the magneton of the i-th quark or antiquark,
    μi=ei2mi,

    (17)
    where ei and mi are the charge and effective mass of the i-th quark or antiquark, respectively.
    For the simplicity of calculating orbital magnetic moment, we take the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs] as the compound bosons so that the state [cu][ˉcˉs] can be simplified to a two-body system.[31,32] The effective masses of the diquark and the antidiquark are assumed to be approximately equal to the sum of the quark static masses, namely M[cu] = mc + mu and M[ˉcˉs]=mc+ms. The charges of the diquark [cu] and antidiquark [ˉcˉs] are +4e3 and e3, respectively, with e being the charge unit. Adopting the same procedure with that of Refs. [31,32], we can express the total orbital magnetic moment of the state [cu][ˉcˉs] as
    μll=μ[cu]l[cu]+μ[ˉcˉs]l[ˉcˉs],

    (18)
    where l represents the relative angular excitation between the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs];l[cu] and l[ˉcˉs] are the effective orbit excitation of the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs], respectively,
    l[cu]=M[cˉcˉs]M[cu]+M[ˉcˉs]l,l[ˉcˉs]=M[cu]M[cu]+M[ˉcˉs]l,

    (19)
    μ[cu] and μ[ˉcˉs] are the magneton of the diquark [cu] and the antidiquark [ˉcˉs], respectively,
    μ[cu]=2e3M[cu],μ[ˉcˉs]=e6M[ˉcˉs].

    (20)
    Finally, we can calculate the magnetic moments of the states [cu][ˉcˉs] with various color-spin configurations using the eigen wave function,
    μ=Φ[cu][ˉcˉs]IJ|μ|Φ[cu][ˉcˉs]IJ,

    (21)
    their numerical results are presented in Table 3.

    One can see from Table 3 that the magnetic moment of the ground state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 1+, the candidate of the state Zcs(4000)+, is about 0.73μN in the MCFTM. Within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules, the magnetic of moment of the state Zcs(4000)+ is 0.73+0.280.26μN,[33] which is highly consistent with our result. The magnetic moments of the states [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11P1 and 13P1, the candidate of the state Zcs(4220)+ in the MCFTM, are 0.12μN and 0.64μN, respectively. The latter is close to the result, 0.77+0.270.25μN, of the state Zcs(4220)+ in Ref. [33]. The experimental measurements of the magnetic moments of the states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+ are expected, which is helpful to understand the substructure of the states by comparing with the theoretical results.

    In summary, we have systematically studied the mass spectrum, spatial configuration and magnetic moment of the ground and p-wave states [cu][ˉcˉs] with various color-spin configurations in the multiquark color flux-tube model. The state Zcs(4000)+ can be described as the compact state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 13S1 in the model. Its main color-spin configuration is [cu]16c[ˉcˉs]1ˉ6c and its magnetic moment is 0.73μN. The state Zcs(4220)+ can be depicted as the compact state [cu][ˉcˉs] with 11P1 (or 13P1). Its main configuration is [cu]0ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]03c (or [cu]0ˉ3c[ˉcˉs]13c) and its magnetic moment is 0.12μN (or 0.64μN). The physical state should be the mixture of these two different color-spin configurations and deserves further investigation. Hopefully, the systematical investigation will be helpful for the understanding of the properties of the exotic states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+.

    Note that our model conclusion just serves as one of possible theoretical suggestions. Molecular state description of the states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(4220)+ is also possible. The states should be the linear combinations of the compact tetraquark states and loose molecular states and it is beneficial to understand the difference between the states Zcs(4000)+ and Zcs(3895).
