Abstract

We investigate the well-known ccˉc\bar{c} vector state ψ(4040)\psi(4040) in the framework of a quantum field theoretical model. In particular, we study its spectral function and search for the pole(s) in the complex plane. Quite interestingly, the spectral function has a non-standard shape and two poles are present. The role of the meson-meson quantum loops (in particular DDDD^* ones) is crucial and could also explain the not yet confirmed state Y(4008)Y(4008).
