Abstract

Temperature dependences of masses and current couplings of the ground state of the fully heavy tetraquarks T4cT_{4c} and T4bT_{4b}, composed of charm (c)(c) and bottom (b)(b) quarks and antiquarks with spin-parities JPC=0++J^{PC} = 0^{++} are evaluated in the diquark antidiquark picture using Thermal QCD Sum Rules including vacuum condensates up to dimension four. The calculated values for cccˉcˉcc\bar{c}\bar{c} and bbbˉbˉbb\bar{b}\bar{b} tetraquark states at T=0T=0 align well with the experimental data on the broad structures. Based on the numerical analyses around the critical temperature, the mass of the T4cT_{4c} state decreases by 8%8\% compared to its vacuum state, while for its b partner, this percentage is approximately 3.3%3.3\%. For the decay constants, the reductions are approximately 71%71\% and 66.6%66.6\%, respectively. The precise exploration of tetraquark states awaits future scrutiny in upcoming experiments, including Belle II, Super-B, PANDA, and LHCb.
