Title: A $$$$bb{\bar{b}}{\bar{b}}$$$$ di-bottomonium at the LHC?

Abstract

We study the case of a di-bottomonium $$bb\bar{b}$$$$\bar{b}$$ par-ticle at the LHC. Its mass and decay width are obtained within a new model of diquark–antidiquark interactions in tetraquarks. The same model solves several open problems on the phenomenology of the experimentally better known X, Z states. We show that the $$bb\bar{b}$$$$\bar{b}$$ tetraquark is expected approximately 100 MeV below threshold, and compare to a recent analysis by LHCb seeking it in the Yμμ final state.

Fig. 1 Fig. 1: Comparison between the experimental values of δ and Γ for the X Z resonances and the Γ = A√δ law. All the ground state tetraquarks fit the curve remarkably well, with a value of the fitted parameter A = 9.4 ± 1.5 MeV1/2 common to both the charmmore » and beauty resonances. We also report the expected with of the Z(4430), which is underestimated with respect to the observed one. Indeed, being the Z(4430) an excited state, the decay towards a ground state tetraquark (rather than a meson pair) is also available« less
