2012Y(4260) as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state PHYSICAL REVIEW D, COLLEGE PK, v. 86, n. 11, supl. 1, Part 4, pp. 1659-1670, DEC 27, 2012 Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the Yð4260Þ state assuming that it can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with J PC ¼ 1 ÀÀ quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around % ð53:0 AE 0:5Þ , we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the experimental mass of the Yð4260Þ. For the decay width into the channel Y ! J=c we find the value À Y!J=c % ð4:1 AE 0:6Þ MeV, which is much smaller than the total experimental width À % ð95 AE 14Þ MeV. However, considering the experimental upper limits for the decay of the Yð4260Þ into open charm, we conclude that we cannot rule out the possibility of describing this state as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state.
