Nuclear photoproduction of X(6900) off carbon and tungsten is predicted to differ by 10-30% between compact-tetraquark, J/psi-psi(3770) molecular, and hybrid interpretations, potentially allowing future electron-ion colliders to identify its internal structure.

abstract
The attractive interaction between $J/\psi$ and $\psi(3770)$ has to be strong enough to form the molecular resonant structure, i.e., $X(6900)$. We argue that since $\psi(3770)$ decays predominantly into a $D\bar D$ pair, the interactions between $J/\psi$ and $\psi(3770)$ may be significantly enhanced due to the three point $D\bar D$ loop diagram. The enhancement comes from the anomalous threshold located at $t=-1.288$GeV$^2$, which effect propagates into the $s$-channel partial wave amplitude in the vicinity of $\sqrt{s}\simeq 6.9$GeV. This effect may be helpful in forming the $X(6900)$ peak.

On the nature of fully-charmed four-quark exotic state $X(6900)$ from its photoproduction off nuclei
Nuclear photoproduction of X(6900) off carbon and tungsten is predicted to differ by 10-30% between compact-tetraquark, J/psi-psi(3770) molecular, and hybrid interpretations, potentially allowing future electron-ion colliders to identify its internal structure.
