Arguments in favor of tetraquark interpretationArguments in favor of tetraquark interpretation L=1 quark-antiquark mesons expected to be above 1GeV:

scalar mesons, axial mesons, tensor mesons

observed m(I=1)>m(I=1/2) for states below and above

1 GeV not possible to explain with pure quark-antiquark states.

This ordering is natural in tetraquark picture.

- states below 1 GeV could be “pure” tetraquarks

- states above 1 GeV could be lin. combinations of (mixing via t’Hooft vertex): t’Hooft, Maiani, Polosa, Isidori, Riquer 2008

Experiment: Belle, BaBar, BES, Cleo ....

Possible interpreations: tetraquarks [Maiani, Polosa, ...]

- discard disconnected diagrams

- quenched approximation (we needed two different volumes and different shapes of interpolators)

above two approximations (used in all previous tetraquark simulations)

allow definite quark assignment, no mixing

Summary of our results for I=0,1/2,1Summary of our results for I=0,1/2,1

Summary of our results for I=0,1/2,1Summary of our results for I=0,1/2,1 excited states:

to heavy to correspond to light tetraquark candidates:

I was not looking for interpretation of these states

(they may be also some excited scattering states) ground state:

effective mass and volume dependence of spectral weights

roughly consistent with tower of scattering states

we find no evidence for light tetraquark at mpi=340-570 MeV

Still hopes for finding tetraquarks!Still hopes for finding tetraquarks! There may still exist possibility for finding tetraquarks on lattice: at mpi<340 MeV Kentucky group found I=0 tetraquark only for mpi<300 MeV

- mpi~300 MeV, domain wall fermions, dynamical u,d,s quarks

all consider single correlator
