abstract
This study investigates the properties of the $T_{\psi\psi}$ tetraquark candidates within a coupled-channels calculation of the $c\bar c- c\bar c$ system, specifically focusing on the $J^P=0^\pm$, $1^\pm$, and $2^\pm$ sectors. The analysis includes various channels containing a $J/\psi$, $\psi^\prime$, $\eta_c$, and $\eta_c^\prime$ meson. By searching for poles in the scattering matrix, a total of 29 states in different $J^P$ sectors with masses ranging from 6.1 to 7.6 GeV/c$^2$ are identified. The study further investigates the masses, widths and branching ratios of these states, leading to the identification of two potential candidates for the experimental $T_{\psi\psi}(6200)$ tetraquark, one candidate for $T_{\psi\psi}(6600)$, two for $T_{\psi\psi}(6700)$, four for $T_{\psi\psi}(6900)$, and three for $T_{\psi\psi}(7200)$ tetraquarks. Additionally, the paper discusses strategies to discriminate between different candidates and explores possible detection channels for further $c\bar c- c\bar c$ states.

A coupled-channel Born-Oppenheimer calculation with lattice QCD potentials predicts a broad \bar{b}\bar{b}ud tetraquark resonance about 4 MeV above the B*B* threshold, with mass 2m_B + 94 MeV and width 140 MeV.
