examples Subject of study • Some of observed resonances • hidden charm states X,Y,Z • scalars s(600), k(800), a0(980), f0(980) • are candidates for exotic states like • Presented lattice criteria do no distinguish between tetraquarks / molecules: • when saying “tetraquarks” I have in mind both types. Conveying present status of lattice QCD simulations concerning whether tetraquarks exist. Lattice 09
Correlator and physical states n • Compute correlation function in lattice QCD using interpolators • with desired JPC and flavor • Which physical • states n contribute? • Two-particle scattering states • have discrete spectrum Lattice 09
Task: is there any state in addition to tower of scattering states? One-particle (tetraquark) state vs. Two-particle (scattering) state illustration Essential to look for few excited states in addition to the ground state ! Resonances have been sucessfully extracted in simulations of toy models: Sasaki&Yamazaki (2006) Lang & Gattringer (1993) Lattice 09
Finding physical states n: • Easy to extract ground state E1 : • many lattice simulation determine only ground state from a single correlator • Essential to extract few excited states in addition to ground state • Multi-exponential fits to extract several En are unstable • Generalized eigenvalue problem allows determination of [Luscher, Wolf] [Blossier, Sommer, Mendes…] Lattice 09

Is X(3872) tetraquark/molecule ? • X(3872): JPC=1++ • [Chiu & Hsieh, • PLB646 (2006) 95,PRD73 (2006) 111503] possible issue: scattering should be found at the same energies, before tetraquarks can be trusted Discovered by CDF in 2009 Lattice 09

Conclusions • Do light scalar mesons s and k have tetraquark component? • We find two light states in I=0 and I=1/2 channels. One is the scattering state, while the other state may be candidate for s or k with strong tetraquark component. Confirmation is needed before firm conclusion! • Ultimate study would need to take into account mixing • and the interpolators have to cover all these Fock components. Then one could determine the fraction of physical states in terms of various Fock components. • Are some of hidden charm states XYZ tetraquarks/molecules? • There is some indication for tetraquark/molecular structure of • X(3872), Y(4260), Y(4140) from the lattice, but much more work is needed. • Few excited states would have to be extracted in addition to the ground state to make • reliable identification for tetraquark/molecular states.
