Abstract

Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the X(4260) state assuming that it can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with JPC=1J^{PC}=1^{--} quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around θ=(53.0±0.5)0\theta=(53.0 \pm 0.5)^0, we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the experimental mass of the X(4260). For the decay width into the channel XJ/ψππX \to J/\psi \pi \pi, we find the value ΓXJ/ψππ=(4.1±0.6)\Gamma_{X \to J/\psi\pi\pi}=(4.1 \pm 0.6) MeV, which is much smaller than the total experimental width Γ=(108±12)\Gamma = (108\pm 12) MeV. However, considering the experimental upper limits for the decay of the X(4260) into open charm, we conclude that we cannot rule out the possibility of describing this state as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state.
