Mass spectra of hidden heavy-flavor tetraquarks with two and four heavy quarks
Abstract
Inspired by the observation of the X(6900) by LHCb and the X(6600) (with mass 6552 10 12 MeV) recently by CMS and ATLAS experiments of the LHC in the di-J/ invariant mass spectrum, we systemically study masses of all ground-state configurations of the hidden heavy-flavor tetraquarks q1Q2q3Q4 and Q1Q2Q3Q4 (Q=c,b;q=u,d,s) contaning two and four heavy quarks in the MIT bag model with chromomagnetic interaction and enhanced binding energy. Considering color-spin mixing due to chromomagnetic interaction, our mass computation indicates that the observed X(6600) is likely to be the 0++ ground states of hidden-charm tetraquark cccc with computed masses 6572 MeV, which has a 0++ color partner around 6469 MeV. The fully bottom system of tetraquark bbbb has masses of 19685 MeV and 19717 MeV for the the 0++ ground states. Further computation is given to the tetraquark systems scsc, sbsb, cbcb, ncnc and nbnb, suggesting that the Zc(4200) is the tetraquark ncnc with JPC=1+-. All of these tetraquarks are above their lowest thresholds of two mesons and unstable against the strong decays.
