Fully charmed resonance $X(6900)$ and its beauty counterpart

Abstract

The fully heavy scalar tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{4Q}}=QQ\overline{Q}\overline{Q }$, ($Q=c, b$) are explored in the context of QCD sum rule method. We model $ T_{\mathrm{4Q}}$ as diquark-antidiquark systems composed of pseudoscalar constituents, and calculate their masses $m^{(\prime)}$ and couplings $ f^{(\prime)}$ within the two-point sum rule approach. Our results $m=(6928 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m^{\prime}=(18858 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for masses of the tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{4c}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$ prove that they can decay to hidden-flavor heavy mesons. The full width $Γ_{ \mathrm{4c}}$ of the $T_{\mathrm{4c}}$ is evaluated by taking into account the decay channels $T_{\mathrm{4c}} \to J/ψJ/ψ$, $J/ψψ^{\prime}$, $η_{c}η_{c}$, $η_{c}η_{c}(2S)$, $η_{c}χ_{c1}(1P)$, and $χ_{c0}χ_{c0}$. The partial widths of these processes depend on strong couplings $g_{i}$ at vertices $T_{\mathrm{4c} }J/ψJ/ψ$, $T_{\mathrm{4c}}J/ψψ^{\prime} $ etc., which are computed using the QCD three-point sum rule method. The decay $T_{\mathrm{4b} } \to η_{b}η_{b}$ is used to find the width $Γ_{\mathrm{4b}}$ of the $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$. The predictions for $m$ and $Γ_{\mathrm{4c} }=(128 \pm 22)~\mathrm{MeV}$ are compared with parameters of the fully charmed resonances reported by the LHCb, ATLAS, and CMS Collaborations. Based on this analysis, we interpret the tetraquark $T_{\mathrm{4c}}$ as a candidate to the resonance $X(6900)$. The mass $m^{\prime} $ and width $ Γ_{\mathrm{4b}}=(94 \pm 28)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the exotic meson $T_{ \mathrm{4b}}$ can be used in future experimental investigations of these
