Axial vector $(J^{PC}=1^{++})$ charmonium and bottomonium hybrid masses are determined via QCD Laplace sum-rules. Previous sum-rule studies in this channel did not incorporate the dimension-six gluon condensate, which has been shown to be important for $1^{--}$ and $0^{-+}$ heavy quark hybrids. An updated analysis of axial vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrids is presented, including the effects of the dimension-six gluon condensate. The axial vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrid masses are predicted to be 5.13 GeV and 11.32 GeV, respectively. We discuss the implications of this result for the charmonium-like XYZ states and the charmonium hybrid multiplet structure observed in recent lattice calculations.
QCD Laplace sum-rules are used to calculate axial vector $(J^{PC}=1^{++})$ charmonium and bottomonium hybrid masses. Previous sum-rule studies of axial vector heavy quark hybrids did not include the dimension-six gluon condensate, which has been shown to be important in the $1^{--}$ and $0^{-+}$ channels. An updated analysis of axial vector heavy quark hybrids is performed, including the effects of the dimension-six gluon condensate, yielding mass predictions of 5.13 GeV for hybrid charmonium and 11.32 GeV for hybrid bottomonium. The charmonium hybrid mass prediction disfavours a hybrid interpretation of the X(3872), if it has $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, in agreement with the findings of other theoretical approaches. It is noted that QCD sum-rule results for the $1^{--}$, $0^{-+}$ and $1^{++}$ channels are in qualitative agreement with the charmonium hybrid multiplet structure observed in recent lattice calculations.
We use QCD sum rules to test the nature of the recently observed mesons Y(4260), Y(4350) and Y(4660), assumed to be exotic four-quark $(cbar{c}qbar{q})$ or $(cbar{c}sbar{s})$ states with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. We work at leading order in $alpha_s$, consider the contributions of higher dimension condensates and keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass $m_s$. We find for the $(cbar{c}sbar{s})$ state a mass $m_Y=(4.65pm 0.10)$ GeV which is compatible with the experimental candidate Y(4660), while for the $(cbar{c}qbar{q})$ state we find a mass $m_Y=(4.49pm 0.11)$ GeV, which is higger than the mass of the experimental candidate Y(4350). With the tetraquark structure we are working we can not explain the Y(4260) as a tetraquark state. We also consider molecular $D_{s0}bar{D}_s^*$ and $D_{0}bar{D}^*$ states. For the $D_{s0}bar{D}_s^*$ molecular state we get $m_{D_{s0}bar{D}_s^*}=(4.42pm 0.10)$ GeV which is consistent, considering the errors, with the mass of the meson Y(4350) and for the $D_{0}bar{D}^*$ molecular state we get $m_{D_{0}bar{D}^*}=(4.27pm 0.10)$ GeV in excelent agreement with the mass of the meson Y(4260).
We explore conventional meson-hybrid mixing in $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ heavy quarkonium using QCD Laplace sum-rules. We calculate the cross-correlator between a heavy conventional meson current and heavy hybrid current within the operator product expansion, including terms proportional to the four- and six-dimensional gluon condensates and the six-dimensional quark condensate. Using experimentally determined hadron masses, we construct models of the $1^{++}$ charmonium and bottomonium mass spectra. These models are used to investigate which resonances couple to both currents and thus exhibit conventional meson-hybrid mixing. In the charmonium sector, we find almost no conventional meson-hybrid mixing in the $chi_{c1}(1P)$, minimal mixing in the $X(3872)$, and significant mixing in both the $X(4140)$ and $X(4274)$. In the bottomonium sector, we find minimal conventional meson-hybrid mixing in the $chi_{b1}(1P)$ and significant mixing in both the $chi_{b1}(2P)$ and $chi_{b1}(3P)$.
We study mixing between conventional and hybrid mesons in vector and axial vector charmonium using QCD Laplace sum-rules. We compute meson-hybrid cross correlators within the operator product expansion, taking into account condensate contributions up to and including those of dimension-six as well as composite operator renormalization-induced diagrams. Using measured masses of charmonium-like states as input, we probe known resonances for nonzero coupling to both conventional and hybrid meson currents, a signal for meson-hybrid mixing.
QCD sum-rules are employed to determine whether the X(3872) can be described as a mixed state that couples to $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ charmonium hybrid and $bar D D^*$ molecular currents. After calculating the mixed correlator of hybrid and molecular currents, we formulate the sum-rule in terms of a mixing parameter that interpolates between the pure molecular and hybrid scenarios. As the mixing parameter is increased from the pure molecular case, the predicted mass increases until it reaches a maximum value in good agreement with the X(3872) and the resulting sum-rule analysis appears more robust than the pure molecular case.
