Photoproduction of fully charmed tetraquark at electron-ion colliders

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the inclusive photoproduction of the $C$-odd, $S$-wave fully charmed tetraquark at electron-ion colliders within the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework, at the lowest order in velocity and ${\alpha }_s$. The value of the NRQCD long-distance matrix element is estimated from two phenomenological potential models. Our studies reveal that the photoproduction of the $1^{+-}$ fully charmed tetraquark may be difficult to observe at HERA and the EicC; nevertheless, its observation prospect at the EIC appears to be bright.
