Abstract
The first search for double charged charmoniumlike state production in ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) decays and in e+e− annihilation at s=10.52, 10.58, and 10.867 GeV is conducted using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. No significant signals are observed in any of the studied modes, and the 90% credibility level upper limits on their product branching fractions in ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) decays [B(ϒ(1S,2S)→Zc+Zc(′)−)×B(Zc+→π++cc¯) (cc¯=J/ψ, χc1(1P), ψ(2S))] and the product of Born cross section and branching fraction for e+e−→Zc+Zc(′)− (σ(e+e−→Zc+Zc(′)−)×B(Zc+→π++cc¯)) at s=10.52, 10.58, and 10.867 GeV are determined. Here, Zc refers to the Zc(3900) and Zc(4200) observed in the πJ/ψ final state, the Zc1(4050) and Zc2(4250) in the πχc1(1P) final state, and the Zc(4050) and Zc(4430) in the πψ(2S) final state.3 MoreReceived 6 May 2018DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.97.112004Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

Highlights
In the past decade, many experiments, at both lepton and hadron colliders, reported evidence for a large number of new particles having exotic properties that are difficult to accommodate within the conventional quark model, especially those that couple to heavy quarkonium and have nonzero charge [1]

Summary
Many experiments, at both lepton and hadron colliders, reported evidence for a large number of new particles having exotic properties that are difficult to accommodate within the conventional quark model, especially those that couple to heavy quarkonium and have nonzero charge [1]. Considerable efforts in theory have been devoted to interpreting these states as tetraquarks, molecules, hybrids, or hadrocharmonia [11–13] To distinguish among these explanations, experimental input is needed, such as that from the study of double ZÆc production in eþe− annihilation [14,15].

Zc states, only both Zc states decaying into the same final states are currently studied in this study; the information of the other final-state combinations can be estimated from the results reported here
