Exotic $1^{--}$ States in QCD Sum Rules

Abstract

Using the QCD sum rules we test if the charmonium-like structure Y(4260), observed in the $J/\psi \pi \pi$ invariant mass spectrum, can be described with a $J/\psi f_0(980)$ molecular current with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension six and we work at leading order in ${\alpha }_s$. We keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass $m_s$. The mass obtained for such state is $m_Y=(4.67\pm 0.09)$ GeV, when the vector and scalar mesons are in color singlet configurations. We conclude that the proposed current can better describe the Y(4660) state that could be interpreted as a $\Psi (2S)f_0(980)$ molecular state. We also use different $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ currents to study the recently observed $Y_b(10890)$ state. Our findings indicate that the $Y_b(10890)$ can be well described by a scalar-vector tetraquark current.
