abstract = {The traditional quark model accounts for the existence of
baryons, such as protons and neutrons, which consist of
three quarks, as well as mesons, composed of a
quark-antiquark pair. Only recently has substantial evidence
started to accumulate for exotic states composed of four or
five quarks and antiquarks. The exact nature of their
internal structure remains uncertain. This paper reports the
first measurement of quantum numbers of the recently
discovered family of three all-charm tetraquarks, using data
collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider
from 2016 to 2018. The angular analysis techniques developed
for the discovery and characterization of the Higgs boson
have been applied to the new exotic states. The quantum
numbers for parity $P$ and charge conjugation $C$ symmetries
are found to be +1. The spin $J$ of these exotic states is
consistent with 2$\hbar$, while 0$\hbar$ and 1$\hbar$ are
excluded at 95\% and 99\% confidence level, respectively.
The $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ assignment implies particular
configurations of constituent spins and orbital angular
momenta, which constrain the possible internal structure of
these tetraquarks.},
