Abstract

In recent years, steady progress has been made to formulate ever more accurate practical covariant equations describing the tetraquark where pairwise interactions are dominated by diquark (D), antidiquark (D¯), or meson (M) formation, and where quark-antiquark (qq¯) annihilation is taken into account. In all cases, the basic idea has been to exploit the dominance of D, D¯, and M formation to reduce the inherently four-body equations down to coupled two-body equations. Here we describe the progressive development of such equations, and introduce a new refinement whereby all pole contributions to pairwise interactions between the quarks (corresponding to D, D¯, and M formation) are included non-perturbatively, while only their non-pole parts are used for a perturbative multiple scattering
