Abstract

We analyze various possible interpretations of the narrow state which lies 100 MeV above threshold. This interesting state decays mainly into instead of . If this relative branching ratio is further confirmed by other experimental groups, we point out that the identification of either as a state or more generally as a state in the representation is probably problematic. Instead, such an anomalous decay pattern strongly indicates is a four quark state in the representation with the quark content . We discuss its partners in the same multiplet, and the similar four-quark states composed of a bottom quark . Experimental searches of other members especially those exotic ones are strongly called for.
