Abstract

Many mesons with properties incompatible with a cˉc\bar cc structure have already been discovered, e.g. the ZcZ_c mesons with isospin 1. We investigate the spectrum of exotic charmonium-like mesons using lattice QCD. The focus is on cˉcqˉq\bar cc \bar qq states with JPC=1+±J^{PC}=1^{+\pm} and isospin 1. This is the first study of four-quark states with these quantum numbers, a non-zero total momentum and two different lattice volumes. We extract the energy levels and determine the scattering length for DDˉD\bar D^* scattering close to the threshold using L\"uscher's formalism. Our preliminary results show that the energy shifts for eigenstates dominated by DDˉD\bar{D}^* are very small in the 1++1^{++} channel and consistent with zero in the 1+1^{+-} channel.
