  • CMS gets acquainted with a family of all-charm tetraquarks

    CMS gets acquainted with a family of all-charm tetraquarks

    Upon close inspection, the tetraquark family members are consistent with tightly bound diquark pairs The CMS Collaboration has identified three extremely rare same-flavor teraquark states and determined, based on their spin-parity configuration, that they are consistent with a diquark-antidiquark model.
