Enhanced evidence of $X(7200)$ and improved measurements of $X(6900)$ parameters from a combined LHCb-ATLAS-CMS analysis

Abstract

We report stronger evidence for the $X(7200)$ state and markedly improved measurements of the $X(6900)$ resonance parameters based on a combined analysis of the di-$J/\psi$ mass spectrum using published data from LHCb, ATLAS, and CMS. Through simultaneous fits to the datasets from all three experiments, we observe the $X(6900)$ with overwhelming significance ($>12\sigma$) and determine its mass and width with improved precision. For the $X(7200)$, we find consistent signals across multiple interference models, with significances ranging from $3.7\sigma$ to $6.6\sigma$; in the best-fit model (the CMS three-resonance scheme), the significance reaches $6.6\sigma$, providing substantially stronger evidence for this state. Our results underscore the essential role of interference effects in fully charmed tetraquark spectroscopy and offer new constraints on their production mechanisms at the LHC.
