Abstract

The pseudoscalar and vector four-quark states bbccbb\overline{c}\overline{c} are studied in the context of the QCD sum rule method. We model T  PST_{\mathrm{ \ \ PS}} and TVT_{\mathrm{V}} as structures built of diquarks bTCγ5b b^{T}C\gamma_{5}b, cCcT\overline{c}C\overline{c}^{T} and bTCγ5bb^{T}C\gamma _{5}b , cCγμγ5cT\overline{c}C\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\overline{c}^{T}, respectively, with C C being the charge conjugation matrix. The spectroscopic parameters of the tetraquarks TPST_{\mathrm{PS}} and TVT_{\mathrm{V}}, i.e., their masses and current couplings are calculated using QCD two-point sum rule method. We evaluate the full widths of TPST_{\mathrm{PS}} and TVT_{\mathrm{V}} by taking into account their kinematically allowed decay channels. In the case of the pseudoscalar particle they are processes TPSBcBcT_{\mathrm{PS}} \to B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}, BcBc(13P0)B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}(1^{3}P_{0}) and BcBc(11P1)B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{-}(1^{1}P_{1}). The vector state TVT_{\mathrm{V}} can dissociate to meson pairs 2Bc2 B_{c}^{-}, 2Bc2 B_{c}^{\ast -} and BcBc(11P1) B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}(1^{1}P_{1}). Partial widths of these decays are determined by the strong couplings at relevant tetraquark-meson-meson vertices, which evaluated in the context of the three-point sum rule approach. Predictions obtained for the mass and full width of the pseudoscalar m=(13.092±0.095) GeVm =(13.092\pm 0.095)~\mathrm{GeV}, ΓPS=(63.7±13.0) MeV\Gamma _{\mathrm{PS} }=(63.7\pm 13.0)~\mathrm{MeV} and vector m~=(13.15±0.10) GeV\widetilde{m} =(13.15\pm 0.10)~ \mathrm{GeV}, ΓV=(53.5±10.3) MeV\Gamma_{\mathrm{V}}=(53.5\pm 10.3)~\mathrm{MeV} tetraquarks can be useful for analyses of different four-quark resonances.
