Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to electromagnetic production and decay of fully charm tetraquarks
Abstract
We investigate the electromagnetic properties of the fully charm tetraquark states, particularly incorporating contributions from internal gluon radiation. The paper first presents analytical expressions for the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections to the decay amplitudes of fully charm tetraquarks into two photons. It is found that the QCD corrections are significant for the JPC=0++ and JPC=2++ fully charm tetraquark decay process. Subsequently, by considering photon-photon fusion in ultra-peripheral high-energy collisions of protons and nuclei and in electron-positron collision, we provide theoretical predictions for the production cross sections of fully charm tetraquark states. The results presented in this work regarding the electromagnetic production and decay of fully charm tetraquarks shall be tested in current and future experiments.
