abstract
We use a non-relativistic model to study the spectroscopy of a tetraquark composed of $[cc][\bar{c}\bar{c}]$ in a diquark-antidiquark configuration. By numerically solving the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a Cornell-inspired potential, we separate the four-body problem into three two-body problems. Spin-dependent terms (spin-spin, spin-orbit and tensor) are used to describe the splitting structure of the $c\bar{c}$ spectrum and are also extended to the interaction between diquarks. Recent experimental data on charmonium states are used to fix the parameters of the model and a satisfactory description of the spectrum is obtained. We find that the spin-dependent interaction is sizable in the diquark-antidiquark system, despite the heavy diquark mass, and also that the diquark has a finite size if treated in the same way as the $c\bar{c}$ systems. We find that the lowest $S$-wave $T_{4c}$ tetraquarks might be below their thresholds of spontaneous dissociation into low-lying charmonium pairs, while orbital and radial excitations would be mostly above the corresponding charmonium pair thresholds. Finally, we repeat the calculations without the confining part of the potential and obtain bound diquarks and bound tetraquarks. This might be relevant to the study of exotic charmonium in the quark-gluon plasma. The $T_{4c}$ states could be investigated in the forthcoming experiments at the LHC and Belle II.

NRQCD calculation finds ~1 MeV widths for T4c to gamma J/psi, tens of eV for T4b, and preferential c cbar annihilation in mixed bc states.
Computes two-photon couplings of scalar and tensor fully-charmed tetraquarks via NRQCD from recent four-body wave functions and finds resonant terms dominate J/ψJ/ψ but not diphoton production in UPCs, disagreeing with naive vector dominance.
A nonrelativistic quark-diquark model, parameterized via the B_c meson spectrum, predicts ground-state masses near 8.0 GeV for Ω_ccb and 11.0 GeV for Ω_cbb, along with magnetic moments and Regge trajectories.
