abstract

In this Letter we interpret the Y(4260), a state recently discovered by the BaBar Collaboration that has a mass within the range of conventional charmonium states, as having a molecular-state structure. In our scheme this molecular-like state is not constructed out of two-quark mesons, but rather out of baryons, i.e., the Y(4260) is a baryonium state. With this interpretation, the unusual measured properties of the Y(4260) are easily understood and some further peculiar decay characteristics are predicted.

Vector charmonium(-like) states in the energy range of 4.1-4.6 GeV

hep-ph · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A coupled-channel framework is developed and fitted to BESIII data on vector charmonium-like states in the 4.1-4.6 GeV range, concluding that coupled-channel effects with dynamically generated poles explain the line shapes.
