Abstract
Inspired by the experimentally reported $T_{c\bar{s}}(2900)$ exotic states, the $S$-wave $\bar{q}q\bar{s}Q$ $(q=u,\,d;\,Q=c,\,b)$ tetraquarks, with spin-parity $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$, in both isoscalar and isovector sectors are systematically studied in a chiral quark model. The meson-meson, diquark-antidiquark and K-type arrangements of quarks, along with all possible color wave functions, are comprehensively considered. The four-body system is solved by means of a highly efficient computational approach, the Gaussian expansion method, along with a complex-scaling formulation of the problem to disentangle bound, resonance and scattering states. This theoretical framework has already been successfully applied in various tetra- and penta-quark systems. In the complete coupled-channel case, and within the complex-range formulation, several narrow resonances of $\bar{q}q\bar{s}c$ and $\bar{q}q\bar{s}b$ systems are obtained in each allowed $I(J^P)$-channels. Particularly, the $T_{c\bar{s}}(2900)$ is well identified as a $I(J^P)=1(0^+)$ $\bar{q}q\bar{s}c$ tetraquark state with a dominant molecular structure. Meanwhile, more resonances in $\bar{q}q\bar{s}c$ and $\bar{q}q\bar{s}b$ systems are also obtained within the energy regions $2.4-3.4$ GeV and $5.7-6.7$ GeV, respectively. The predicted exotic states, which are an indication of a richer color structure when going towards multiquark systems beyond mesons and baryons, are expected to be confirmed in future high-energy particle and nuclear experiments.
