Abstract

In this study, we investigate the discovery potential of double-charm tetraquarks T[qˉqˉ]{cc}T^{\{cc\}}_{[\bar{q}\bar{q}']}. We find that their production cross sections at the LHCb with s=13\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV reach O(104)\mathcal{O}(10^4) pb, which indicates that the LHCb has collected O(108)\mathcal{O}(10^8) such particles. Through the decay channels of T[uˉdˉ]{cc}D+Kπ+T^{\{cc\}}_{[\bar{u}\bar{d}]}\to D^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+} or D0D+γD^0D^+\gamma (if stable) or T[uˉdˉ]{cc}D0D+D0D0π+T^{\{cc\}}_{[\bar{u}\bar{d}]}\to D^0D^{*+}\to D^0D^0\pi^+ (if unstable), it is highly expected that they get discovered at the LHCb in the near future. We also discuss the productions and decays of the double-charm tetraquarks at future Tera-ZZ factories.
