In this article, we study the $Cγ_5\otimes γ_5C$ type and $C\otimes C$ type scalar $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark states with the QCD sum rules by calculating the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension 10 in a consistent way. The ground state masses $M_{Cγ_5\otimes γ_5C}=3.89\pm 0.05\,\rm{GeV}$ and $M_{C\otimes C}=5.48\pm0.10\,\rm{GeV}$ support assigning the $X(3915)$ to be the ground state $Cγ_5\otimes γ_5C$ type tetraquark state with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$, but do not support assigning the $X(4700)$ to be the ground state $C\otimes C$ type $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark state with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. Then we tentatively assign the $X(3915)$ and $X(4500)$ to be the 1S and 2S $Cγ_5\otimes γ_5C$ type scalar $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark states respectively, and obtain the 1S mass $M_{\rm 1S}=3.85^{+0.18}_{-0.17}\,\rm{GeV}$ and 2S mass $M_{\rm 2S}=4.35^{+0.10}_{-0.11}\,\rm{GeV}$ from the QCD sum rules, which support assigning the $X(3915)$ to be the 1S $Cγ_5\otimes γ_5C$ type tetraquark state, but do not support assigning the $X(4500)$ to be the 2S $Cγ_5\otimes γ_5C$ type tetraquark state.
In this article, we take the $X(4140)$ as the diquark-antidiquark type $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark state with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, and study the mass and pole residue with the QCD sum rules in details by constructing two types interpolating currents. The numerical results $M_{X_{L,+}}=3.95\pm0.09\,\rm{GeV}$ and $M_{X_{H,+}}=5.00\pm0.10\,\rm{GeV}$ disfavor assigning the $X(4140)$ to be the $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ diquark-antidiquark type $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark state. Moreover, we obtain the masses of the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ diquark-antidiquark type $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark states as a byproduct. …
The strong coupling constants of newly observed $Ω_c^0$ baryons with spin $J = \frac{1}{2}$ and $J = \frac{3}{2}$ decaying into $Ξ_c^{+} K^{-}$ are estimated within light cone QCD sum rules. The calculations are performed within two different scenarios on quantum numbers of $Ω_c$ baryons: a) all newly observed $Ω_c$ baryons are negative parity baryons, i.e., the $Ω_c(3000)$, $Ω_c(3050)$, $Ω_c(3066)$, and $Ω_c(3090)$ have quantum numbers $J^P = \frac{1}{2}^-$ and $J^P = \frac{3}{2}^-$ states respectively; b) the states $Ω_c(3000)$ and $Ω_c(3050)$ have quantum numbers $J^P = \frac{1}{2}^-$ and $…
Recently, a QCD sum-rule analysis of tetraquark molecular states has been published, having the objective of demonstrating that our previously formulated tetraquark-adequate QCD sum rules are not correct. This comment brings to the attention of the reader inconsistencies in that article and explains some subtle details of QCD sum rules for exotic states.
We review the DPD sum rules and establish their validity to all orders in QCD. This is done using a diagrammatic approach and light-front perturbation theory. In the process we furthermore investigate the QCD evolution of double parton distributions and obtain sum rules for $1\to2$ splitting kernels in close analogy to the DPD sum rules themselves.
In "Landau equation and QCD sum rules for the tetraquark molecular states", I list out six reasons to refute the assertion of Lucha, Melikhov and Sazdjian. In "Comment on "Landau equation and QCD sum rules for the tetraquark molecular states"", they refute my viewpoint. If they want to the refute my viewpoint robustly, they should refute the six reasons one by one, and provide at least one example to illustrate that they have obtained reliable QCD sum rules for the tetraquark states and free two-meson states, respectively.
We use the method of QCD Sum Rules to estimate the masses of the charm baryon, $Λ^+_c$, bottom baryon $Λ^0_b$, strange baryon $Λ^0_s$ and compare them to their experimental values.
Revisiting the QCD sum-rule description of exotic hadron states, we argue that, in order to arrive at trustable analyses of, for instance, strong decay widths of multiquarks, it is inevitable to adopt the QCD sum-rule approach beyond the leading perturbative level.
