Analysis of the vector hidden-charm tetraquark states without explicit P-waves via the QCD sum rules

In the present work, we take the scalar, pseudoscalar, axialvector, vector and tensor (anti)diquark operators as the elementary constituents to construct vector four-quark currents without introducing explicit P-waves, and explore the mass spectrum of the vector hidden-charm tetraquark states via the QCD sum rules comprehensively, and revisit the assignments of the $Y$ states in the scenario of tetraquark states. The predicted vector hidden-charm tetraquark states can be confronted to the experimental data in the future.
