Production of the Y(4260) State in B Meson Decay

Abstract

We calculate the branching ratio for the production of the meson $Y(4260)$ in the decay $B^{-}\to Y(4260)K^{-}$. We use QCD sum rules approach and we consider the $Y(4260)$ to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic tetraquark, $[\bar{c}\bar{q}][qc]$, states with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. Using the value of the mixing angle determined previously as: $\theta =(53.0\pm 0.5{)}^{\circ }$, we get the branching ratio $\mathcal{B}(B\to Y(4260)K)=(1.34\pm 0.47)\times 10^{-6}$, which allows us to estimate an interval on the branching fraction $3.0\times 10^{-8}<{\mathcal{B}}_{{}_Y}<1.8\times 10^{-6}$ in agreement with the experimental upper limit reported by Babar Collaboration.
