Abstract
Production of metastable charmonium states more massive than the is expected in models and could be the source of up to of the observed at large at the Tevatron.Narrow are predicted at around 3.8GeV and radially excited may also have suppressed hadronic widths making these states potentially extra sources of . Colour octet components are believed to dominate production at the Tevatron which suggests that hybrid charmonium production may also be prominent. Estimates of hybrid production rates and branching ratios into charmonium suggest that metastable hybrids with mass 4GeV may play an important role in generating the observed
