Abstract

We generalize our recent analysis of hidden-strangeness tetraquarks within the dynamical diquark model from its adiabatic form (in which each state is described solely by a diquark-antidiquark potential) to its diabatic form (which incorporates effects of dihadron thresholds upon the states). We tabulate all relevant thresholds and compute the dihadron content of each predicted state. Our results produce no particular hidden-strange tetraquark candidate whose structure is dominated by dihadron structure, in contrast to the charm sector, where many exotic states are strongly associated with such thresholds: The hidden-strange states tend to remain compact and less influenced by dihadron thresholds. Multiple states above 2 GeV with peculiar decay properties, including phi(2170), f2(2340), and eta(2370), continue to serve as excellent hidden-strange tetraquark candidates.
