abstract = {The traditional quark model$^{1,2}$ 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$^{3}$. The exact nature
of their internal structure remains uncertain$^{4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28–29}$. Here we report the first
measurement of quantum numbers of the recently discovered
family of three all-charm tetraquarks$^{30, 31–32}$, using
data collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron
Collider from 2016 to 2018 (refs. $^{33,34}$). The angular
analysis techniques developed for the discovery and
characterization of the Higgs boson$^{35, 36–37}$ have
been applied to the new exotic states. Here we show that the
quantum numbers for parity P and charge conjugation C
symmetries are found to be +1. The spin J of these exotic
states is determined to be consistent with 2ħ, while 0ħ
and 1ħ are excluded at 95\% and 99\% confidence levels,
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.},
