Abstract

A resonance Y(4630)Y(4630) at the invariant mass spectrum of ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c \bar\Lambda_c observed by the Belle Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about its inner structure. Since it preferably decays into two charmed baryons ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar\Lambda_c, it is tempted to conjecture it as a tetraquark. Because the dominant decay portal Y(4630)ΛcΛˉcY(4630)\to \Lambda_c \bar\Lambda_c is close to the energy threshold, the final state interactions may be significant and result in other baryonic and/or mesonic final states whose branching fractions are sizable to be measured in the future experiments. In this work we calculate the branching ratios of the Y(4630)Y(4630) decays into ppˉp\bar p, D()+D()D^{(*)+} D^{(*)-}, π+π\pi^+\pi^-, and K+KK^+K^- which are induced by the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c \bar\Lambda_c re-scattering. The resultant decay patterns will be tested by the future experiments and the consistency degree with the data composes a valuable probe for the tetraquark conjecture.
