abstract

We study initial-state radiation events, $e^+e^- \to \gamma_{ISR}\pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$, with data collected with the BaBar detector. We observe an accumulation of events near 4.26 GeV/$c^2$ in the invariant-mass spectrum of $\pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$. Fits of the mass spectrum indicate that a broad resonance with a mass of about 4.26 GeV/$c^2$ is required to describe the observed structure. The presence of additional narrow resonances cannot be excluded. The fitted width of the broad resonance is 50 to 90 MeV/$c^2$, depending on the fit hypothesis.

Systematic study of exotic $1^{-+}$ tetraquark spectroscopy

hep-ph · 2025-11-27 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

A constituent quark model predicts masses of 1.9, 4.2, and 6.6 GeV for light, charmonium-like, and fully-charm 1^{-+} tetraquarks along with decay ratios for specific two-body channels and rules out η1(1855) as a compact tetraquark.
