Abstract

The masses of tetraquark states of all $qc\overline{q}\overline{c}$ and $cc\overline{c}\overline{c}$ quark configurations are evaluated in a constituent quark model, where the Cornell-like potential and one-gluon exchange spin-spin coupling are employed. All model parameters are predetermined by comparing the theoretical and experimental masses of light, charmed and bottom mesons. The theoretical predictions of the charmoniumlike tetraquarks are compared with the observed $XYZ$ states, and one tentative assignment is suggested. The work suggests that the $X(6900)$ observed by LHCb is likely to be the first radial excited fully-charm tetraquark state with ${J}^{PC}={1}^{+\ensuremath{-}}$ in the ${\overline{3}}_{c}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}{3}_{c}$ configuration, and the ground and second radial excited states of fully-charm tetraquark are around 6494 and 7253 MeV respectively.
