1-- and 0++ heavy four-quark and molecule states in QCD

Abstract

We estimate the masses of the 1^{--} heavy four-quark and molecule states by combining exponential Laplace (LSR) and finite energy (FESR) sum rules known perturbatively to lowest order (LO) in alpha_s but including non-perturbative terms up to the complete dimension-six condensate contributions. This approach allows to fix more precisely the value of the QCD continuum threshold (often taken ad hoc) at which the optimal result is extracted. We use double ratio of sum rules (DRSR) for determining the SU(3) breakings terms. We also study the effects of the heavy quark mass definitions on these LO results. The SU(3) mass-splittings of about (50 - 110) MeV and the ones of about (250 - 300) MeV between the lowest ground states and their 1st radial excitations are (almost) heavy-flavour independent. The mass predictions summarized in Table 4 are compared with the ones in the literature (when available) and with the three Y_c(4260,~4360,~4660) and Y_b(10890) 1^{--} experimental candidates. We conclude (to this order approximation) that the lowest observed state cannot be a pure 1^{--} four-quark nor a pure molecule but may result from their mixings. We extend the above analyzes to the 0^{++} four-quark and molecule states which are about (0.5-1) GeV heavier than the corresponding 1^{--} states, while the splittings between the 0^{++} lowest ground state and the 1st radial excitation is about (300-500) MeV. We complete the analysis by estimating the decay constants of the 1^{--} and 0^{++} four-quark states which are tiny and which exhibit a 1/M_Q behaviour. Our predictions can be further tested using some alternative non-perturbative approaches or/and at LHCb and some other hadron factories.
