Abstract
The LHCb Collaboration announcement regarding the observation of the stated that it might consist of two resonances rather than a single one. Naturally, the structure and composition of state has prompted significant interest among researchers. Within the framework of generalized flavor-spin symmetry, the has been correlated with the previously identified as one-peak states , which were later found to be two-peak, and . We investigate whether the embodies one or two distinct resonances. Notably, one of the predicted peaks posited by LHCb analysis appears to correspond to a molecular state.
