Strong decays of fully-charm tetraquarks into di-charmonia


Abstract in English

We study strong decays of the possible fully-charm tetraquarks recently observed by LHCb, and calculate their relative branching ratios through the Fierz rearrangement. Together with our previous QCD sum rule study [Phys. Lett. B 773, 247 (2017)], our results suggest that the broad structure around $6.2$-$6.8$ GeV can be interpreted as an $S$-wave $ccbar c bar c$ tetraquark state with $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ or $2^{++}$, and the narrow structure around 6.9 GeV can be interpreted as a $P$-wave one with $J^{PC} = 0^{-+}$ or $1^{-+}$. These structures were observed in the di-$J/psi$ invariant mass spectrum, and we propose to confirm them in the di-$eta_c$, $J/psi h_c$, $eta_c chi_{c0}$, and $eta_c chi_{c1}$ channels. We also propose to search for their partner states having the negative charge-conjugation parity in the $J/psi eta_c$, $J/psi chi_{c0}$, $J/psi chi_{c1}$, and $eta_c h_c$ channels.
