We suggest some means of producing and observing $Q_1 Q_2 \\bar Q_3 \\bar Q_4$ resonant states, concentrating on the $c c \\bar c \\bar c$ channel which is most easily produced and the $b b \\bar b \\bar b$ channel which has a better chance of being relatively narrow. We obtain $M_{(cc)(\\bar c \\bar c)} = 6,192 \\pm 25$ MeV and $M_{(bb)(\\bar b \\bar b)} = 18,826 \\pm 25$ MeV, for the charmed "},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1611.00348","kind":"arxiv","version":6},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
