Abstract
We systematically study the mass spectra of -wave singly heavy tetraquark states (; ) in a mass splitting model. We adopt the assumption that the is the lowest tetraquark and use this state as a reference to determine the mass splittings. According to the obtained results, we also estimate the rearrangement decay widths of the tetraquarks within a simple scheme. We find that the recently observed states and by the LHCb Collaboration can be consistently interpreted as the second highest () and the higher tetraquark states, respectively. We predict several narrow tetraquark candidates: the lowest and with and , and their bottom counterparts. The obtained information from mass spectrum and rearrangement decay properties will help search for the new singly heavy tetraquark states.
