The Effect of Topological Defects and Magnetic Flux on Fully-Heavy Tetraquarks and Mass Spectra of Heavy Quarkonia Using the Analytical Exact Iteration Method

Investigating the non-perturbative behavior of QCD and the dynamics of strong interaction is crucial for the study of heavy quarkonia and the understanding of exotic fully-heavy tetraquarks.

In this work, using the analytical exact iteration method (AEIM), the analytical eigenvalue solutions of the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation are obtained in the presence of topological defects and external magnetic flux.

The interactions are modelled using a modified Cornell potential supplemented by harmonic and inverse quadratic terms.

We demonstrate that the energy levels are distinctly shifted by the topological defect parameter ($\alpha$).

The mass spectra of heavy quarkonia ($c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$) and fully-heavy tetraquarks ($cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$) across several radial and orbital excitation states are successfully calculated using this approach.

The computed masses of bottomonium and charmonium accord well with current theoretical predictions and experimental findings.

Our findings for the heavy tetraquarks are in line with previous theoretical investigations that consider tetraquarks as configurations of diquarks and antidiquarks.

The numerical results demonstrate that a nontrivial interaction between the confining potential and the background space-time geometry governs the mass hierarchy of these exotic hadronic states, providing high-precision data with excellent agreement with established theoretical models and experimental benchmarks.
