Y(4260) as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state

Abstract

Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the Y(4260) state assuming that it can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around $\theta \approx (53.0\pm 0.5{)}^0$, we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the experimental mass of the Y(4260). However, for the decay width we find the value ${\text{Ga}}_Y\approx (1.0\pm 0.2)$ MeV which is not compatible with the experimental value $\text{Ga}\approx (88\pm 23)$ MeV. Therefore, we conclude that, although we can explain the mass of the Y(4260), this state cannot be described as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state since, with this assumption, we can not explain its decay width.
