Probing Kaons as Light-Strange Tetraquarks through Spectral and Decay Dynamics
Abstract
Motivated by the discovery of several kaon-like states observed at BESIII and LHCb, this study explores S-wave and P-wave tetraquark states with quark contents sssq and sqqq using potential-based phenomenology. The tetraquarks are modeled as diquark-antidiquark systems in antitriplet-triplet and sextet-antisextet color configurations. The mass spectra are calculated using the Cornell potential, while decay properties are analyzed through Fierz rearrangement. A comparison with experimentally observed states is provided to enhance our understanding of light-light tetraquark systems with non-homogeneous quark compositions.
