Abstract

In this work, we present the mass spectrum of higher charomona around and above 4.6 GeV by adopting the unquenched potential model. We perform a combined fit to the updated experimental data of e+eψ(2S)π+πe^+e^- \to \psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^- and e+eΛcΛˉce^+e^-\to \Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c. To understand the "platform" structure observed in the range of 4.574.604.57 \sim 4.60 GeV existing in the ΛcΛˉc\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c invariant mass spectrum of e+eΛcΛˉce^+e^-\to \Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c of BESIII, we introduce two resonances in this combined fit to the e+eψ(2S)π+πe^+e^- \to \psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^- and e+eΛcΛˉce^+e^-\to \Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c, which have resonance parameters, mY1=4585±2m_{Y_1}=4585\pm2 MeV, ΓY1=29.8±8.0\Gamma_{Y_1}=29.8\pm8.0 MeV, mY2=4676±7m_{Y_2}=4676\pm7 MeV, and ΓY2=85.7±15.0\Gamma_{Y_2}=85.7\pm15.0 MeV. Furthermore, combining with our theoretical results, we indicate that the two charmonium-like YY states can be due to two higher charmonia, which are mixtures of 6S6S and 5D5D ccˉc\bar{c} states. Their two-body open-charm decay behaviors are given. Under the same framework, our analysis of the data of e+eDs+Ds1(2536)e^+e^-\to D_{s}^+D_{s1}(2536)^- recently released by Belle supports to introduce these two higher charmonia around 4.6 GeV. Additionally, we predict the masses and two-body open-charm decays of six higher charmonia ψ(nS)\psi(nS) and ψ(mD)\psi(mD) with n=7,8,9n=7,8,9 and m=6,7,8m=6,7,8 above 4.6 GeV. Search for these higher charmonia will be an interesting issue for the running BESIII and BelleII, and even the possible Super Tau-Charm Factory discussed in China.
