Fully charmed tetraquark production at the LHC experiments by Ilia Belov, Alessandro Giachino, Elena Santopinto

“…We demonstrate that the production cross-section of a fully heavy tetraquark, even if it is a diquark-antidiquark cluster, can be obtained in the meson-like basis, for which the spin-color projection technique is well established. Prompted by the recent LHCb, ATLAS and CMS data, we perform a pQCD calculation of O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ ( α s 5 $$ {\alpha}_s^5 $$ ) short-distance factors in the dominant channel of gluon fusion, and match these to the four-body T 4c wave functions in order to obtain the unpolarized T 4c (0++ , 1+− , 2++) cross-sections. …”
