Abstract

This study investigates the properties of the TψψT_{\psi\psi} tetraquark candidates within a coupled-channels calculation of the ccˉccˉc\bar c- c\bar c system, specifically focusing on the JP=0±J^P=0^\pm, 1±1^\pm, and 2±2^\pm sectors. The analysis includes various channels containing a J/ψJ/\psi, ψ\psi^\prime, ηc\eta_c, and ηc\eta_c^\prime meson. By searching for poles in the scattering matrix, a total of 29 states in different JPJ^P sectors with masses ranging from 6.1 to 7.6 GeV/c2^2 are identified. The study further investigates the masses, widths and branching ratios of these states, leading to the identification of two potential candidates for the experimental Tψψ(6200)T_{\psi\psi}(6200) tetraquark, one candidate for Tψψ(6600)T_{\psi\psi}(6600), two for Tψψ(6700)T_{\psi\psi}(6700), four for Tψψ(6900)T_{\psi\psi}(6900), and three for Tψψ(7200)T_{\psi\psi}(7200) tetraquarks. Additionally, the paper discusses strategies to discriminate between different candidates and explores possible detection channels for further ccˉccˉc\bar c- c\bar c states.
