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 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 use QCD Laplace sum-rules to explore mixing between conventional mesons and hybrids in the heavy quarkonium vector $J^{PC}!=!1^{--}$ channel. Our cross-correlator includes perturbation theory and contributions proportional to the four-dimensional and six-dimensional gluon condensates. We input experimentally determined charmonium and bottomonium hadron masses into both single and multi-resonance models in order to test them for conventional meson and hybrid components. In the charmonium sector we find evidence for meson-hybrid mixing in the $J/psi$ and a $approx4.3$ GeV resonance. In the bottomonium sector, we find that the $Upsilon(1S)$, $Upsilon(2S)$, $Upsilon(3S)$, and $Upsilon(4S)$ all exhibit mixing.
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.
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 use QCD Laplace sum-rules to predict masses of open-flavour heavy-light hybrids where one of the hybrids constituent quarks is a charm or bottom and the other is an up, down, or strange. We compute leading-order, diagonal correlation functions of several hybrid interpolating currents, taking into account QCD condensates up to dimension-six, and extract hybrid mass predictions for all $J^Pin{0^{pm},,1^{pm}}$, as well as explore possible mixing effects with conventional quark-antiquark mesons. Within theoretical uncertainties, our results are consistent with a degeneracy between the heavy-nonstrange and heavy-strange hybrids in all $J^P$ channels. We find a similar mass hierarchy of $1^+$, $1^{-}$, and $0^+$ states (a $1^{+}$ state lighter than essentially degenerate $1^{-}$ and $0^{+}$ states) in both the charm and bottom sectors, and discuss an interpretation for the $0^-$ states. If conventional meson mixing is present the effect is an increase in the hybrid mass prediction, and we estimate an upper bound on this effect.
