Description

To identify the nature of the newly observed charged resonance Zc(4200)+, we study its hadronic decays Zc(4200)+ → J/ψπ+, Zc(4200)+ @→ ηcρ+ and Zc(4200)+ → D+ anti D*0 as a charmonium-like tetraquark state. In the framework of the QCD sum rules, we calculate the three-point functions and extract the coupling constants and decay widths for these interaction vertices. Including all these channels, the full decay width of the Zc(4200)+ state is consistent with the experimental value reported by the Belle Collaboration, supporting the tetraquark interpretation of this state.
