In this work we study the mass spectra of the fully-heavy tetraquark systems, i.e. $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$, $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}/cc\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $bc\bar{c}\bar{c}/cc\bar{b}\bar{c}$, $bc\bar{b}\bar{b}/bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$, and $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$, within a potential model by including the linear confining potential, Coulomb potential, and spin-spin interactions. It shows that the linear confining potential has important contributions to the masses and is crucial for our understanding of the mass spectra of the fully-heavy tetraquark systems. For the fully-heavy tetraquarks $Q_1Q_2\bar{Q}_3\bar{Q}_4$ our explicit calculations suggest that no bound states can be formed below the thresholds of any meson pairs $(Q_1\bar{Q}_3)$-$(Q_2\bar{Q}_4)$ or $(Q_1\bar{Q}_4)$-$(Q_2\bar{Q}_3)$. Thus, we do not expect narrow fully-heavy tetraquark states to be existing in experiments.

  1. Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to electromagnetic production and decay of fully charm tetraquarks

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    The first NLO QCD corrections to fully charm tetraquark → γγ decay are given, with photon-fusion production cross sections predicted.

  2. Symmetry Analysis of Compact Tetraquark States and Implications for the Level Ordering of the Fully Charmed Candidates $X(6600)$, $X(6900)$, and $X(7100)$

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Symmetry analysis of compact tetraquarks shows low-energy states favor J^P=2+ and places X(6600), X(6900), X(7100) among the lower levels of the fully charmed spectrum.

  3. Symmetry Analysis of Compact Tetraquark States and Implications for the Level Ordering of the Fully Charmed Candidates $X(6600)$, $X(6900)$, and $X(7100)$

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Counting symmetry-allowed states up to orbital angular momentum L=3 predicts low-lying compact tetraquarks prefer J^P=2^+, matching the observed 2^{++} fully charmed X states.

  4. Fully-heavy multiquarks in neural-network quantum states

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Neural-network quantum states are used to compute spectra of fully-heavy multiquarks in a non-relativistic quark model, claiming to overcome dimensionality issues with superior accuracy over prior approximations.

  5. Enhanced evidence of $X(7200)$ and improved measurements of $X(6900)$ parameters from a combined LHCb-ATLAS-CMS analysis

    hep-ex 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    A combined fit to LHCb, ATLAS, and CMS di-J/ψ data finds >12σ evidence for X(6900) and 3.7–6.6σ evidence for X(7200), with interference effects playing a critical role.

  6. Enhanced evidence of $X(7200)$ and improved measurements of $X(6900)$ parameters from a combined LHCb-ATLAS-CMS analysis

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Simultaneous fits to LHCb-ATLAS-CMS data raise X(7200) evidence to 3.7–6.6σ (best 6.6σ) while confirming X(6900) at >12σ with improved mass and width precision.

  7. Fully-strange tetraquarks: fall-apart decays and experimental candidates

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Fully-strange tetraquarks mostly show narrow fall-apart decay widths of O(10) MeV, with X(2300) possibly matching the 1S-wave 1^{+-} state at 2323 MeV and X(2500) the 1P-wave 0^{-+} state at 2481 MeV.
