Because of their higher masses, no stable tetraquarks were found. Using a simple scheme, we also estimated the partial widths of the rearrangement decay channels and relevant ratios. A compact triply heavy tetraquark candidate would be favored if its observed mass and partial width ratios were comparable with our predictions. We hope that the present work will be helpful for further studies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-01-27T14:53:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "triply heavy tetraquark states", "mass-splitting model", "compact triply heavy tetraquark candidate", "triply-heavy tetraquark states", "modified chromomagnetic interaction model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
