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.

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

    hep-ph 2026-06 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.

  2. Mass Spectra of $\Lambda_Q\bar{\Sigma}_Q$ Hexaquark States in QCD Sum Rules

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    QCD sum rules predict Λ_c Σ_c hexaquark ground-state masses around 5.8 GeV, above threshold and consistent with no bound state observed by BESIII.
