Abstract

We propose a novel type of interpolating field operators, which manifests the hybrid-like configuration that the charm quark-antiquark pair recoils against gluonic degrees of freedom. A heavy vector charmonium-like state with a mass of 4.33(2)GeV4.33(2)\,{\rm GeV} is disentangled from the conventional charmonium states in the quenched approximation. This state has affinity for the hybrid-like operators but couples less to the relevant quark bilinear operator. We also try to extract its leptonic decay constant and give a tentative upper limit that it is less than one tenth of that of J/ψJ/\psi, which corresponds to a leptonic decay width about dozens of eV. The connection of this state with X(4260)X(4260) is also discussed.
