Exploring the Spectrum of Heavy Quarkonium Hybrids with QCD Sum Rules

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-04-30 v2

Abstract

QCD Laplace sum rules are used to calculate heavy quarkonium (charmonium and bottomonium) hybrid masses in several distinct JPCJ^{PC} channels. Previous studies of heavy quarkonium hybrids did not include the effects of dimension-six condensates, leading to unstable sum rules and unreliable mass predictions in some channels. We have updated these sum rules to include dimension-six condensates, providing new mass predictions for the spectra of heavy quarkonium hybrids. We confirm the finding of other approaches that the negative-parity JPC=(0,1,2)+,1J^{PC}=(0,1,2)^{-+},\,1^{--} states form the lightest hybrid supermultiplet and the positive-parity JPC=(0,1)+,(0,1,2)++J^{PC}=(0,1)^{+-},\,(0,1,2)^{++} states are members of a heavier supermultiplet. Our results disfavor a pure charmonium hybrid interpretation of the X(3872)X(3872), in agreement with previous work.
