TL;DR

This paper investigates the production mechanisms of doubly heavy hadrons, including $B_c$ mesons, doubly heavy baryons, and all-charm tetraquarks, at the future AFTER@LHC experiment, emphasizing the role of the doubly intrinsic heavy mechanism.

Contribution

It introduces the impact of the doubly intrinsic heavy mechanism on the production of various doubly heavy states at the AFTER@LHC experiment.

The doubly intrinsic heavy mechanism significantly influences production rates.

Abstract

In the paper we discuss contribution of the doubly intrinsic heavy mechanism into the production of $B_c$ meson, the doubly heavy baryons and the all-charm tetraquark at a future fixed-target experiment at the LHC (AFTER@LHC). The production cross sections and the mean values of Feynman-x for the finale states are presented.
