Probing an axial-vector tetraquark Z_s via its semileptonic decay Z_s $\rightarrow$ X(4274)$\overline{{l}}$$\nu_{l}^{}$

Abstract.

The semileptonic decays of the open charm-bottom axial-vector tetraquark $Z_{s}=[cs][\overline{b}\overline{s}]$ to $X(4274)\overline{l} \nu_l$ , $l=e, \mu, \tau$ are explored by means of the QCD three-point sum rule method. Both $Z_{s}$ and $X(4274)=[cs][\overline{c}\overline{s}]$ are treated as color sextet diquark-antidiquark states. The full width of the decays $Z_s \rightarrow X(4274) \overline{l} \nu_l$ is found. Obtained predictions for $\Gamma(Z_s \rightarrow X(4274)\overline{l} \nu_l)$ demonstrate that, as in the case of the conventional hadrons, the semileptonic transitions form a very small part of its full width.
