Abstract

In this work, we carry out the study of hidden-charm hexaquark states with the typical configurations $qqc\bar{q}\bar{q}\bar{c}$ ($q=u, d, s$). The mass spectra of hidden-charm hexaquark states are obtained within the chromo-magnetic interaction model. In addition to the mass spectra analysis, we further illustrate their two-body strong decay behaviors. There exist some compact bound states which cannot decay through the strong interaction. Hopefully our results will help to search for such types of the exotic states in the future experiments.
