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.
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 study meson-hybrid mixing in vector ($1^{--}$) heavy quarkonium. We compute the QCD cross-correlator between a heavy meson current and a heavy hybrid current within the operator product expansion. In addition to leading-order perturbation theory, we include four- and six-dimensional gluon condensate contributions as well as a six-dimensional quark condensate contribution. We construct several single and multi-resonance models that take known hadron masses as inputs. We investigate which resonances couple to both currents and so exhibit meson-hybrid mixing. Compared to single resonance models that include only the ground state, we find that models that also include excited states lead to significantly improved agreement between QCD and experiment. In the charmonium sector, we find that meson-hybrid mixing is consistent with a two-resonance model consisting of the $J/psi$ and a 4.3~GeV resonance. In the bottomonium sector, we find evidence for meson-hybrid mixing in the $Upsilon(1S)$, $Upsilon(2S)$, $Upsilon(3S)$, and $Upsilon(4S)$.
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 calculate the coefficients of the dimension-8 quark and gluon condensates in the current-current correlator of $1^{-+}$ light hybrid current $gbar{q}(x)gamma_{ u}iG_{mu u}(x)q{(x)}$. With inclusion of these higher-power corrections and updating the input parameters, we re-analyze the mass of the $1^{-+}$ light hybrid meson from Monte-Carlo based QCD sum rules. Considering the possible violation of factorization of higher dimensional condensates and variation of $langle g^3G^3rangle$, we obtain a conservative mass range 1.72--2.60,GeV, which favors $pi_{1}(2015)$ as a better hybrid candidate compared with $pi_{1}(1600)$ and $pi_{1}(1400)$.
QCD Laplace sum rules are used to calculate heavy quarkonium (charmonium and bottomonium) hybrid masses in several distinct $J^{PC}$ channels. Previous studies of heavy quarkonium hybrids did not include the effects of dimension-six condensates, leading to unstable sum rules and unreliable mass predictions in some channels. We have updated these sum rules to include dimension-six condensates, providing new mass predictions for the spectra of heavy quarkonium hybrids. We confirm the finding of other approaches that the negative-parity $J^{PC}=(0,1,2)^{-+},,1^{--}$ states form the lightest hybrid supermultiplet and the positive-parity $J^{PC}=(0,1)^{+-},,(0,1,2)^{++}$ states are members of a heavier supermultiplet. Our results disfavor a pure charmonium hybrid interpretation of the $X(3872)$, in agreement with previous work.
