We study $bar{Q}Qbar{q}q$ and $bar{Q}qQbar{q}$ molecular states as mixed states in QCD sum rules. By calculating the two-point correlation functions of pure states of their corresponding currents, we review the mass and coupling constant predictions of $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, $1^{--}$, $1^{-+}$ molecular states. By calculating the two-point mixed correlation functions of $bar{Q}Qbar{q}q$ and $bar{Q}qQbar{q}$ molecular currents, and we estimate the mass and coupling constants of the corresponding ``physical state that couples to both $bar{Q}Qbar{q}q$ and $bar{Q}qQbar{q}$ currents. Our results suggest that $1^{++}$ states are more likely mixing from $bar{Q}Qbar{q}q$ and $bar{Q}qQbar{q}$ components, while for $1^{--}$ and $1^{-+}$ states, there is less mixing between $bar{Q}Qbar{q}q$ and $bar{Q}qQbar{q}$. Our results suggest the $Y$ series of states have more complicated components.
In the past decade, due to the experimental observation of many charmonium-like states, there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. In particular, the experimental observation of charged charmonium-like, $Z_c$ states, and bottomonium-like, $Z_b$ states, represents a challenge since they can not be accommodated within the naive quark model. These charged states are good candidates of either tetraquark or molecular states and their observation motivated a vigorous theoretical activity. This is a rapidly evolving field with enormous amount of new experimental information. In this work, we review the current experimental progress and investigate various theoretical interpretations of these candidates of the multiquark states. The present review is written from the perspective of the QCD sum rules approach, where we present the main steps of concrete calculations and compare the results with other approaches and with experimental data.
We study $bar qq$-hybrid mixing for the light vector mesons and $bar qq$-glueball mixing for the light scalar mesons in Monte-Carlo based QCD Laplace sum rules. By calculating the two-point correlation function of a vector $bar qgamma_mu q$ (scalar $bar q q$) current and a hybrid (glueball) current we are able to estimate the mass and the decay constants of the corresponding mixed physical state that couples to both currents. Our results do not support strong quark/gluonic mixing for either the $1^{--}$ or the $0^{++}$ states.
In the present work, we investigate the axialvector doubly-charmed tetraquark molecular states without strange, with strange and with doubly-strange via the QCD sum rules, and try to make assignment of the $T^+_{cc}$ from the LHCb collaboration in the scenario of molecular states. The predictions favor assigning the $T^+_{cc}$ to be the heavier $DD^{*}$ molecular state with the spin-parity $J^P=1^+$, while the lighter $DD^{*}$ molecular state with the spin-parity $J^P=1^+$ still escapes experimental detections. All the predicted doubly-charmed tetraquark molecular states can be confronted to the experimental data in the future.
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.
The $Sigma$--$Lambda$ mixing angle is calculated in framework of the QCD sum rules. We find that our prediction for the mixing angle is $(1.00pm 0.15)^0$ which is in good agreement with the quark model prediction, and approximately two times larger than the recent lattice QCD calculations.
