Tensor hybrid mesons $\overline{b}gc$

Spectroscopic parameters and widths of the tensor hybrid mesons $H_{\mathrm{ bc}}$ and $\widetilde{H}_{\mathrm{bc}}$ with the structure $\overline{b}gc$ and spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{P}}=2^{-}$ and $J^{\mathrm{P}}=2^{+}$ are calculated with high accuracy in the QCD sum rule framework. Information on their masses $m=(7.214\pm 0.075)~\mathrm{GeV}$ and $\widetilde{m} =(7.685\pm 0.040)~\mathrm{GeV}$ enable us to determine decay channels of $H_{\mathrm{bc} }$ and $\widetilde{H}_{\mathrm{bc}}$. The full width of the meson $H_{ \mathrm{bc}}$ is estimated by considering the decays $H_{\mathrm{bc}} \to D^{+}\overline{B}^{\ast 0}$ and $D^{0}B^{\ast +}$. The channels $\widetilde{H }_{\mathrm{bc}}\to B^{+}D^{0}$, $B^{0}D^{+}$, $B^{\ast +}D^{\ast 0}$, $ B^{\ast 0}D^{\ast +} $, $B_{s}^{0}D_{s}^{+}$, and $B_{s}^{\ast 0}D_{s}^{\ast +}$ are studied to find the width of the $\widetilde{H}_{\mathrm{bc}}$ state. The widths of these processes are calculated using QCD three-point sum rule approach, which require estimation of the strong couplings at hybrid-meson-meson vertices. The results $(50.8 \pm 9.8)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $ (184.3\pm 22.8)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for the full widths of the hybrid mesons $H_{ \mathrm{bc}}$ and $\widetilde{H}_{\mathrm{bc}}$ characterize them as relatively narrow and broad structures, respectively.

Properties of the tensor state $bc\overline{b}\overline{c}$

Spectroscopic parameters and decays of the exotic tensor meson $T$ with content $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are explored in the context of the diquark-antidiquark model. We treat it as a state built of axial-vector diquark $b^{T}Cγ_{μ}c$ and antidiquark $\overline{b}γ_{ν}C \overline{c}^{T}$, where $C$ is the charge conjugation matrix. The mass $m$ and current coupling $Λ$ of this tetraquark are extracted from two-point sum rules. Our result for $m=(12.70 \pm 0.09)~\mathrm{GeV}$ proves that $T$ is unstable against strong dissociations to two-meson final states. Its dominant decay channels are processes $T \to J/ψΥ$, $ η_{b}η_{c}$, and $B_{c}^{(\ast) +}B_{c}^{(\ast) -}$. Kinematically allowed transformations of $T$ include also decays $T\rightarrow D^{(\ast )+}D^{(\ast )-}$ and $D^{(\ast )0}\overline{D}^{(\ast )0}$, which are generated by $b\overline{b}$ annihilation inside of $T$. The full width of $ T $ is estimated by considering all of these channels. Their partial widths are calculated by invoking methods of three-point sum rule approach which are required to evaluate strong couplings at corresponding tetraquark-meson-meson vertices. Our predictions for the mass and width $ Γ_{T}=(117.4 \pm 15.9)~ \mathrm{MeV} $ of the tensor state $T$ provide useful information for experimental studies of fully heavy four-quark exotic structures.

Pseudoscalar and vector tetraquarks $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$

The pseudoscalar and vector four-quark states $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$ are studied in the context of the QCD sum rule method. We model $T_{\mathrm{ \ \ PS}} $ and $T_{\mathrm{V}}$ as structures built of diquarks $ b^{T}Cγ_{5}b$, $\overline{c}C\overline{c}^{T}$ and $b^{T}Cγ_{5}b$ , $\overline{c}Cγ_μγ_{5}\overline{c}^{T}$, respectively, with $ C$ being the charge conjugation matrix. The spectroscopic parameters of the tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{PS}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{V}}$, i.e., their masses and current couplings are calculated using QCD two-point sum rule method. We evaluate the full widths of $T_{\mathrm{PS}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{V}}$ by taking into account their kinematically allowed decay channels. In the case of the pseudoscalar particle they are processes $T_{\mathrm{PS}} \to B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}$, $B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}(1^{3}P_{0})$ and $B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{-}(1^{1}P_{1})$. The vector state $T_{\mathrm{V}}$ can dissociate to meson pairs $2 B_{c}^{-}$, $2 B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $ B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}(1^{1}P_{1})$. Partial widths of these decays are determined by the strong couplings at relevant tetraquark-meson-meson vertices, which evaluated in the context of the three-point sum rule approach. Predictions obtained for the mass and full width of the pseudoscalar $m =(13.092\pm 0.095)~\mathrm{GeV}$, $Γ_{\mathrm{PS} }=(63.7\pm 13.0)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and vector $\widetilde{m} =(13.15\pm 0.10)~ \mathrm{GeV}$, $Γ_{\mathrm{V}}=(53.5\pm 10.3)~\mathrm{MeV}$ tetraquarks can be useful for analyses of different four-quark resonances.

Hidden charm-bottom structures $bc\overline{b}\overline{c}$: Axial-vector case

Mass and width of a hidden charm-bottom axial-vector structure $T$ containing $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ quarks are calculated in QCD sum rule framework. It is treated as a diquark-antidiquark state built of scalar diquark and axial-vector antidiquark components. The mass of $T$ is computed using the two-point sum rule method. The width of this particle is evaluated by considering eight decay modes: The decays to $η_{b}J/ψ$, $η_{c}Υ(1S)$, $B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast +}$, and $B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ are dissociation processes, in which all initial quarks are distributed between the final-state particles. The decays to $DD$ and $BB$ mesons with appropriate charges and spin-parities are channels generated due to the annihilations of $b\overline{b}$ and $c\overline{c}$ quarks from $T$. Partial widths for all of these processes are obtained by employing the three-point sum rule approach necessary to find the strong couplings at relevant tetraquark-meson-meson vertices. Our results for the mass $ m=(12715\pm 90)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $Γ[T] =(140 \pm 13)~ \mathrm{MeV }$ of the tetraquark $T$, as well as its numerous decay channels explored in this article are useful for ongoing and future experimental investigations of fully heavy resonances.

Decays of the light hybrid meson $1^{\mathrm{-+}}$

The full width of the light isovector hybrid meson $H_{\mathrm{V}}$ with spin-parities $1^{\mathrm{-+}}$ and content $(\overline{u}gu-\overline{d}gd)/ \sqrt{2}$ is evaluated by considering the decays $H_{\mathrm{V}} \to ρ^{\pm}π^{\mp}$, $b_1^{\pm}π^{\mp}$, $f_1(1285)π$, $f_1(1420)π$, $ ηπ$, and $η^{\prime} π$. To calculate the partial widths of these channels, we use QCD three-point sum rule method which is necessary to determine strong couplings at the corresponding hybrid-meson-meson vertices. It turns out that the main contribution to the full width $Γ[H_{\mathrm{ V}}]=(109.7 \pm 16.0)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the hybrid meson comes from the processes $H_{\mathrm{V}} \to ρ^{\pm}π^{\mp}$ partial width of which amounts to $\approx 67~\mathrm{MeV}$. The effects of the decays $H_{\mathrm{V }} \to b_1π$ and $H_{\mathrm{V}} \to f_1π, f_1^{\prime} π$ are also sizeable: Their partial widths are equal to $13~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $20~ \mathrm{MeV}$, respectively. The decays to $ηπ$ and $η^{\prime} π$ mesons are subdominant reactions, nevertheless they form $\approx 9\%$ of the full width $Γ[H_{\mathrm{V}}]$. Results obtained in this work may be interesting to unravel the tangle of predictions about $H_{\mathrm{V}}$ existing in the literature, as well as useful in analyses of different resonances.

Investigation of full heavy $ QQQQ'\bar{Q}$ pentaquark candidates

Recent breakthroughs in research and experimentation have led to the identification of numerous exotic states in particle physics. Each new discovery not only sparks excitement for future findings but also fuels interest in uncovering additional unknown states. Motivated by this perspective and the recent identification of both standard and exotic hadrons with an increasing number of heavy quarks, this study conducts a spectroscopic analysis of possible pentaquark candidates with spin-parity $\frac{1}{2}^-$, and quark content of $cccb\bar{c}$ and $bbbc\bar{b}$. The masses of these states are calculated by considering the relevant Lorentz structures, including $\slashed{p}$ and $\mathbbm{1}$, yielding the following results, respectively: for the $P_{(4cb)}$ state, $m_{P_{(4cb)}} = 11388.30 \pm 107.79$~MeV and $m_{P_{(4cb)}} = 11368.30 \pm 112.68$~MeV, and for the $P_{(4bc)}$ state, $m_{P_{(4bc)}} = 20998.30 \pm 121.52$~MeV and $m_{P_{(4bc)}} = 20990.50 \pm 125.87$~MeV. Additionally, the current coupling constants of these states to the vacuum, which are essential for analyzing their potential decay modes, are also provided in this study.

Scalar fully-charm and bottom tetraquarks under extreme temperatures

Temperature dependences of masses and current couplings of the ground state of the fully heavy tetraquarks $T_{4c}$ and $T_{4b}$, composed of charm $(c)$ and bottom $(b)$ quarks and antiquarks with spin-parities $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ are evaluated in the diquark antidiquark picture using Thermal QCD Sum Rules including vacuum condensates up to dimension four. The calculated values for $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$ tetraquark states at $T=0$ align well with the experimental data on the broad structures. Based on the numerical analyses around the critical temperature, the mass of the $T_{4c}$ state decreases by $8\%$ compared to its vacuum state, while for its b partner, this percentage is approximately $3.3\%$. For the decay constants, the reductions are approximately $71\%$ and $66.6\%$, respectively. The precise exploration of tetraquark states awaits future scrutiny in upcoming experiments, including Belle II, Super-B, PANDA, and LHCb.

Heavy four-quark mesons $bc\overline{b}\overline{c}$: Scalar particle

Parameters of the heavy four-quark scalar meson $T_{\mathrm{bc\overline{b} \overline{c}}}$ with content $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are calculated by means of the sum rule method. This structure is considered as a diquark-antidiquark state built of scalar diquark and antidiquark components. The mass and current coupling of $T_{\mathrm{bc\overline{b} \overline{c}}}$ are evaluated in the context of the two-point sum rule approach. The full width of this tetraquark is estimated by taking into account two types of its possible strong decay channels. First class includes dissociation of $T_{\mathrm{bc\overline{b}\overline{c}}} $ to mesons $η_cη_{b}$, $B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-}$, $B_{c}^{\ast +}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $B_{c}^{+}(1^3P_{0})B_{c}^{\ast-}$. Another type of processes are generated by annihilations $\overline{b}b \to \overline{q}q$ of constituent $ b$-quarks which produces the final-state charmed meson pairs $D^{+}D^{-}$, $ D^{0} \overline{D}^{0}$, $D^{*+}D^{*-}$, and $D^{*0}\overline{D}^{*0}$. Partial width all of these decays are found using the three-point sum rule method which is required to calculate strong couplings at corresponding meson-meson-tetraquark vertices. Predictions obtained for the mass $m=(12697 \pm 90)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $Γ[T_{\mathrm{bc\overline{b}\overline{c} }}]=(142.4 \pm 16.9)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ of this state are compared with alternative results, and are useful for further experimental investigations of fully heavy resonances.

Parameters of the tensor tetraquark $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$

The mass and width of the tensor tetraquark $T=bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$ with spin-parity $J^{\mathrm{P}}=2^{+}$ are calculated in the context of the QCD sum rule method. The tetraquark $T$ is modeled as a diquark-antidiquark state built of components $b^{T}Cγ_{μ}b$ and $\overline{c}γ_{ν}C\overline{c}^{T}$ with $C$ being the charge conjugation matrix. The mass $m=(12.795\pm 0.095)~\mathrm{GeV}$ of the exotic tensor meson $T$ is found by means of the two-point sum rule approach. Its full width $Γ$ is evaluated by considering processes $T \to B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}$, $ B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}$, and $B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{\ast -}$. Partial widths of these decays are computed by means of the three-point sum rule approach which is used to determine the strong couplings at relevant tetraquark-meson-meson vertices. Predictions obtained for the width $Γ_{\mathrm{T}}=55.5_{-9.9}^{+10.6}~\mathrm{MeV}$, as well as the mass of the tetraquark $T $ can be useful in investigations of fully heavy four-quark mesons.

Investigation of full-charm and full-bottom pentaquark states

The continuous advancement of experimental techniques and investigations has led to observations of various exotic states in particle physics. Each addition to this family of states not only raises expectations for future discoveries but also focuses attention on such potential new states. Building upon this motivation and inspired by recent observations of various traditional and exotic particles containing an increased number of heavy quarks, our study provides a spectroscopic search for potential pentaquark states with spin-parity $\frac{3}{2}^-$ and composed entirely of charm or bottom quarks. We predict the masses for full-charm and full-bottom pentaquark states as $m = 7628 \pm 112$~MeV and $m = 21982 \pm 144$~MeV, respectively. We also compute the current couplings of these states to vacuum, which are main inputs in investigations of their various possible decays.

Mass spectra of heavy hybrid quarkonia and $\overline{b}gc$ mesons

Masses and current couplings of the charmonium and bottomonium hybrids $ \overline{c}gc$ and $\overline{b}gb$ with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC} }=0^{++},\ 0^{+-},\ 0^{-+},\ 0^{--}$ and $1^{++},\ 1^{+-},\ 1^{-+},\ 1^{--}$ are calculated using QCD two-point sum rule method. Computations are performed by taking into account gluon condensates up to dimension 12 including terms $\sim \langle g_{s}^{3}G^{3}\rangle ^{2}$. The parameters of the bottom-charm hybrids $\overline{b}gc$ with quantum numbers $J^{\mathrm{PC }}=0^{+},\ 0^{-},\ 1^{+}$, and $1^{-}$ are calculated as well. In computations the dominance of the pole contribution to sum rule results is ensured. It is demonstrated that all charmonia hybrids decay strongly to two-meson final states. The bottomonium hybrids $0^{-+}$ and $1^{-+}$ as well as the bottom-charm hybrid mesons $0^{-(+)}$ and $1^{-(+)}$ may be stable against strong two-meson decay modes. Results of the present work are compared with ones obtained using the sum rule and alternative approaches. Our predictions for parameters of the heavy hybrid mesons may be useful to study their various decay channels which are important for interpretation of ongoing and future experiments.

Light quarkonium hybrid mesons

We investigate the light quarkonium hybrid mesons of various spin-parities in QCD. Considering different interpolating currents made of the valence light quarks and single gluon, we calculate the mass and current coupling of the strange and nonstrange members of light hybrid mesons by including into computations the nonperturbative quark and gluon condensates up to ten dimensions in order to increase the accuracy of the results. The obtained results may be useful for future experimental searches of these hypothetical states. They can also be used in the calculations of different parameters related to the decays/interactions of light hybrid mesons to/with other states.

Investigations of $Λ$ states with spin-parity $\frac{3}{2}^{\pm}$

The present study provides spectroscopic investigations of spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ $Λ$ baryons with both positive and negative parities. The analysis mainly focuses on three states, namely $1P$, $2P$, and $2S$, and corresponding masses are calculated using the QCD sum rule method. To implement the method, we apply two types of interpolating currents with octet and singlet quantum numbers and compare the corresponding results with the reported masses of experimentally observed states. From the comparisons, it is extracted that the results of interpolating current with octet quantum numbers are in good agreement with the experimentally measured masses. The masses obtained with this interpolating current are $m=1513.64\pm 8.76$ MeV for $1P$ state with $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$, $m'=1687.91\pm 0.31$ MeV for $2P$ state with $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ and $\tilde{m}=1882.37 \pm 11.95$ MeV for $2S$ state with $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ and they are consistent with the experimental masses of $Λ(1520)$, $Λ(1690)$ and $Λ(1890)$, respectively, which confirm their spin-parity quantum numbers. Besides, we calculate the corresponding current coupling constants, which are utilized as inputs in the calculations of different form factors defining the widths of the states under study.

Heavy axial-vector structures $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$

The fully heavy axial-vector diquark-antidiquark structures $bb\overline{c} \overline{c}$ are explored by means of the QCD sum rule method. They are modeled as four-quark mesons $T_{\mathrm{1}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{2}}$ composed of $b^{T}Cσ_{μν}γ_{5}b$, $\overline{c}γ^{ν}C \overline{c}^{T}$ and $b^{T}Cγ_{μ}γ_{5}b$, $\overline{c}C \overline{c}^{T}$ diquarks, respectively. The spectroscopic parameters of the tetraquarks $T_{\mathrm{1}}$ and $T_{\mathrm{2}}$ are determined in the context of the QCD two-point sum rule method. Results obtained for masses of these states $m_{1} =(12715\pm 86)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m_{2}=(13383\pm 92)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ are used to fix their strong decay channels. The full width $ Γ(T_{\mathrm{1}})$ of the diquark-antidiquark state $T_{\mathrm{1}}$ is estimated by considering the processes $T_{\mathrm{1}} \to B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $T_{\mathrm{1}} \to B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{\ast -} $. The decays to mesons $B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{\ast -}$, $B_{c}^{-}(2S)B_{c}^{ \ast -}$ and $B_{c}^{\ast -}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ are employed to evaluate $Γ(T_{\mathrm{2}})$. Results obtained for the widths $Γ(T_{\mathrm{1} })=(44.3\pm 8.8)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ(T_{\mathrm{2}})=(82.5\pm 13.7)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ of these tetraquarks in conjunction with their masses are useful for future experimental studies of fully heavy resonances.

Decays of fully beauty scalar tetraquarks to $B_{q}\overline{B}_{q}$ and $B_{q}^{\ast}\overline{B}_{q}^{\ast}$ mesons

Decays of the fully beauty four-quark structures $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ and $T_{ \mathrm{4b}}$ to $B$ meson pairs are investigated in the framework of QCD three-point sum rule method. We model the scalar exotic mesons $X_{\mathrm{4b }}$ and $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$ as diquark-antidiquark systems composed of the axial-vector and pseudoscalar diquarks, respectively. The masses $m=(18540 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $\widetilde{m}=(18858 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of these compounds calculated in our previous articles, fix possible decay channels of these particles. In the present work, we consider their decays to $B_{q}\overline{B}_{q}$ and $B_{q}^{\ast }\overline{B}_{q}^{\ast } (q=u,d,s,c)$ mesons. In the case of $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ the mass of which is below the $2η_{b}$ threshold, these channels determine essential part of its full width $Γ_{\mathrm{4b}}$. The tetraquark $T_{\mathrm{4b}}$ can decay to the pair $η_{b}η_{b}$, therefore partial widths of processes with $B (B^{\ast})$ mesons in the final state permit us to refine our estimate for the full width of this particle. The predictions $Γ_{ \mathrm{4b}}=(9.6\pm 1.1)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $\widetilde{Γ}_{\mathrm{4b} }^{\mathrm{Full}}=(144 \pm 29)~\mathrm{MeV}$ obtained in this article can be used in future experimental investigations of four $b$-quark mesons.

Scalar exotic mesons $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$

Properties of doubly charged scalar tetraquarks $bb\overline{c}\overline{c}$ are investigated in the framework of the QCD sum rule method. We model them as diquark-antidiquark states $X_{\mathrm{1}}$ and $X_{\mathrm{2}}$ built of axial-vector and pseudoscalar diquarks, respectively. The masses and current couplings of these particles are computed using the QCD two-point sum rule method. Results $m_{1}=(12715 \pm 80)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m_{2}=(13370 \pm 95)~\mathrm{MeV}$ obtained for the masses of these particles are used to determine their kinematically allowed decay modes. The full width $Γ_{ \mathrm{1}}$ of the state $X_{\mathrm{1}}$ is evaluated by taking into account its strong decays to mesons $2B_{c}^{-}$, and $2B_{c}^{\ast -}$. The processes $X_{\mathrm{2}} \to 2B_{c}^{-}$, $2B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $ B_{c}^{-}B_{c}^{-}(2S)$ are employed to estimate $Γ_{\mathrm{2}}$. Predictions obtained for the full widths $Γ_{\mathrm{1}}=(63 \pm 12)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ and $Γ_{\mathrm{2}}=(79 \pm 14)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of these structures and their masses may be utilized in experimental studies of fully heavy resonances.

Exploring fully heavy scalar tetraquarks $QQ\overline{Q}\overline{Q}$

The masses, current couplings and widths of the fully heavy scalar tetraquarks $X_{\mathrm{4Q}}=QQ\overline{Q}\overline{Q}$, $Q=c, b$ are calculated by modeling them as four-quark systems composed of axial-vector diquark and antidiquark. The masses $m^{(\prime)}$ and couplings $ f^{(\prime)}$ of these tetraquarks are computed in the context of the QCD sum rule method by taking into account a nonperturbative term proportional to the gluon condensate $\langle α_{s}G^{2}/ π\rangle$. Results $ m=(6570 \pm 55)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $m^{\prime}=(18540 \pm 50)~\mathrm{MeV}$ are used to fix kinematically allowed hidden-flavor decay channels of these states. It turns out that, the processes $X_{\mathrm{4c}}\rightarrow J/ψJ/ψ$, $X_{\mathrm{4c}}\rightarrow η_{c}η_{c}$, and $X_{\mathrm{4c }}\rightarrow η_{c}χ_{c1}(1P)$ are possible decay modes of $X_{ \mathrm{4c}}$. The partial widths of these channels are evaluated by means of the couplings $g_{i}, i=1,2,3$ which describe strong interactions of tetraquark $X_{\mathrm{4c}}$ and mesons at relevant vertices. The couplings $ g_{i}$ are extracted from the QCD three-point sum rules by extrapolating corresponding form factors $g_{i}(Q^2) $ to the mass-shell of a final meson. The mass of the scalar tetraquark $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ is below the $η_b η_b$ and $Υ(1S)Υ(1S)$ thresholds, therefore it does not fall apart to these bottomonia, but transforms to conventional particles through other mechanisms. Comparing $m=(6570 \pm 55)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $ Γ_{\mathrm{4c}}=(110 \pm 21)~\mathrm{MeV}$ with parameters of structures observed by the LHCb, ATLAS and CMS collaborations, we interpret $ X_{4c}$ as the resonance $X(6600)$ reported by CMS. Comparisons are made with other theoretical predictions.

Resonance $X(7300)$: excited $2S$ tetraquark or hadronic molecule $χ_{c1}χ_{c1}$?

We explore the first radial excitation $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$ of the fully charmed diquark-antidiquark state $X_{\mathrm{4c}}=cc\overline{c}\overline{c} $ built of axial-vector components, and the hadronic molecule $\mathcal{M} =χ_{c1}χ_{c1}$. The masses and current couplings of these scalar states are calculated in the context of the QCD two-point sum rule approach. The full widths of $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ are evaluated by taking into account their kinematically allowed decay channels. We find partial widths of these processes using the strong couplings $g_i^{\ast}$ and $G_i^{(\ast)}$ at the $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$($\mathcal{M}$ )-conventional mesons vertices computed by means of the QCD three-point sum rule method. The predictions obtained for the parameters $m=(7235 \pm 75)~ \mathrm{MeV}$, $Γ=(144 \pm 18)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and $\widetilde{m}=(7180 \pm 120)~\mathrm{MeV}$, $\widetildeΓ=(169 \pm 21)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of these structures, are compared with the experimental data of the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations. In accordance to these results, within existing errors of measurements and uncertainties of the theoretical calculations, both the excited tetraquark and hadronic molecule may be considered as candidates to the resonance $X(7300)$. Detailed analysis, however, demonstrates that the preferable model for $X(7300)$ is an admixture of the molecule $\mathcal{M}$ and sizeable part of $X_{\mathrm{4c}}^{\ast}$.
