The relativistic model of the ground state and excited heavy tetraquarks with hidden bottom is formulated within the diquark-antidiquark picture. The diquark structure is taken into account by calculating the diquark-gluon vertex in terms of the diquark wave functions. Predictions for the masses of bottom counterparts to the charm tetraquark candidates are given. PACS numbers: 12.40.Yx, 14.40.Gx, 12.39.Ki During last few years a significant experimental progress has been achieved in meson spectroscopy. Many new heavy meson states have been discovered. Some of them are longawaited states (such as h c , η b , etc.) while other states (such as X(3872), Y (4260), Z(4430), etc.) cannot be easily fitted in the simple qq picture of mesons [1]. These anomalous states and especially the charged ones can be considered as indications of the existence of exotic multiquark states which were predicted long ago [2,3]. Very recently the Belle Collaboration [4] observed an enhancement in e + e − → Υ(1S)π + π − , Υ(2S)π + π − , and Υ(3S)π + π − production which is not well-described by the conventional Υ(10860) line shape. One of the possible explanations is a bottomonium counterpart to the Y (4260) state which may overlap with the Υ(5S). New data on higher bottomonium excitations are expected to come in near future from KEKB, LHC and Tevatron. It is important to note that it is planned to search for bottom partners of anomalous charmonium-like states at LHC.In papers [5,6] we calculated masses of the ground and excited states of heavy tetraquarks in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach in quantum chromodynamics. It was found that most of the anomalous charmonium-like states could be interpreted as the diquark-antidiquark bound states. Here we extend this analysis to the consideration of the excited tetraquark states with hidden bottom. As previously, we use the diquark-antidiquark picture to reduce a complicated relativistic four-body problem to the subsequent two more simple two-body problems. The first step consists in the calculation of the masses, wave functions and form factors of the diquarks, composed from light and bottom quarks in the colour antitriplet state. At the second step, a bottom tetraquark is considered to be a bound diquark-antidiquark system. It is important to emphasize that the diquark is not a point particle but its structure is explicitly taken into account by calculating the diquark-gluon vertex.In the adopted approach the quark-quark bound state and diquark-antidiquark bound state are described by the diquark wave function (Ψ d ) and by the tetraquark wave function (Ψ T ), respectively. These wave functions satisfy the quasipotential equation of the
