Description

Tetraquarks with two heavy flavors (charm $c$, bottom $b$) are studied within the relativistic quark model, based on the quasipotential approach and QCD. Tetraquark is treated as a diquark--antidiquark bound state. The interaction potential in the relativistic quasipotential equation contains all spin--dependent and spin--independent relativistic contributions. Finite size of the diquark is taken into account. The calculated masses of such tetraquarks are compared with the strong fall--apart decay thresholds into a pair of mesons. Results are compared with the available experimental data. The states that could be observed as narrow resonances in other decay modes are determined.
