They are also suitable for study in multiproduction processes to obtain more information on their structure. If these resonances are produced as compact four-quark states, one can predict the production properties based on the similarities in their production mechanism to those of\u00a0\u039ec,\u00a0\u03a3c, and\u00a0\u039bc. Physics implies that the colour and baryon number fluctuations of the preconfinement system in high energy scattering can enhance both the baryon and four-quark state production rates via \u2018diquark fragmentation\u2019. We calculate the production properties of the tetraquark family\u00a0Tcss and\u00a0Tcs\u00afs at LHC energy for the forthcoming LHC measurements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15030695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,13]],"date-time":"2023-03-13T06:09:56Z","timestamp":1678687796000},"page":"695","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Tcs and\u00a0Tcs\u00af\u00a0Family Production in Multi-Production Processes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chuanhui","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7067-8752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Technology, University of Jinan, Jinan 250022, China"},{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology, Guangxi Normal University, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0936-8480","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shi-Yuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9447-3786","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan-Rui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zong-Guo","family":"Si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Cheng, H., and Wu, T.T.
