A study of $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ tetraquark decays in 4 muons and in $D^{(\ast )}{\bar{D}}^{(\ast )}$ at LHC

Abstract

We perform a quantitative analysis of the decays of $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ tetraquarks with $J^{PC}=0^{++},2^{++}$ into 4 muons and into hidden- and open-charm mesons and estimate, for the first time, the fully charmed tetraquark decay width. The calculated cross section upper limit is $\sim 40$ fb for the 4 muons channel, and $\sim 28$ nb for the $D^{(\ast )}{\bar{D}}^{(\ast )}\to e\mu$ channel. On the basis of our results, with the present sensitivity LHCb should detect both signals, for $0^{++}$ and $2^{++}$ fully-charmed tetraquarks.
