Mass spectra of doubly heavy tetraquarks in diquark-antidiquark picture

Inspired by recent observation of the first doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$, we apply linear Regge relation and mass scaling to study low-lying mass spectra of the doubly heavy tetraquark in heavy-diquark-light-antidiquark picture. The measured data and other compatible estimates of ground-state masses of doubly heavy baryons are employed to evaluate masses of heavy diquark $M_{QQ}$ ($Q=c,b$) and the $D\mathrm{/}{D}_s$ meson masses are used in mass scaling to determine the hyperfine mass splitting. Our mass computation indicates that all low-lying states of doubly heavy tetraquarks are unstable against strong decays to two heavy-light mesons, except for the ground states of nonstrange $bb$ tetraquarks.
