Lifetime and dominant decay modes of the tetraquark with double beauty $bb\bar{u}\bar{d}$

Abstract

We briefly review the stability of the $QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$-type of tetraquarks with two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks. We present the first comprehensive estimate of the lifetime and leading decay modes of the exotic meson $bb\bar{u}\bar{d}$ with double beauty.
