Abstract

In this article we present a calculation of the bbbˉbˉbb\bar{b}\bar{b} tetraquark ground-state energy using a diffusion Monte Carlo method to solve the non-relativistic many-body system. The static potential for the four quark system is chosen to align with the flux-tube picture of QCD. Using this approach, we find that the 0++0^{++} state has a mass of 18.69±0.03 \mboxGeV18.69\pm 0.03~\mbox{GeV}, which is around 100 MeV below twice the ηb\eta_b mass. This bound state can behave as a four-lepton resonance via its decay to Υ(1S)Υ(1S)++\Upsilon(1S) \Upsilon(1S)^* \rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^- \ell^+ \ell^-.
