Observation of structures in the J/psi +psi(2S) mass spectrum with the ATLAS detector
read the original abstract
A search for resonant structures in the $J/\psi +\psi$(2S) mass spectrum is performed using proton--proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The decay channels of $J/\psi +\psi\text{(2S)} \rightarrow 4\mu$ and $J/\psi +\psi\text{(2S)} \rightarrow 4\mu+2\pi$ are analyzed. An excess near 6.9 GeV is observed in both channels with a combined significance of 8.9$\sigma$. No significant signal is observed near 7.2 GeV, and an upper limit on its yield relative to $X$(6900) is provided. A simultaneous fit with the di-$J/\psi$ channel is carried out under assumptions regarding the resonance interferences, yielding a ratio of the partial decay widths between the $J/\psi +\psi\text{(2S)}$ and di-$J/\psi$ channels of $1.08\pm 0.20_{-0.17}^{+0.40}$ for the resonance near 6.9 GeV.

Two photon decay width of the fully charmed tetraquarks: revisiting prospects for ultraperipheral collisions
Using recent four-body quark model wave functions and NRQCD, the authors compute two-photon couplings and UPC cross sections for fully charmed tetraquarks, showing resonant terms exceed continuum in J/ψJ/ψ but not in ...

Two photon decay width of the fully charmed tetraquarks: revisiting prospects for ultraperipheral collisions
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 wit...

LHC di-dijet excesses as signals of fourth-generation tetraquarks
LHC di-dijet excesses are attributed to resonant and non-resonant production of b'b'b'b' tetraquarks from fourth-generation quarks of mass ~2 TeV, with dijet resonances from color-octet bound states in a Yukawa potential.

Systematic study of exotic $1^{-+}$ tetraquark spectroscopy
A constituent quark model predicts masses of 1.9, 4.2, and 6.6 GeV for light, charmonium-like, and fully-charm 1^{-+} tetraquarks along with decay ratios for specific two-body channels and rules out η1(1855) as a comp...
