Abstract

New measurements on cross sections in e+eJ/ψπ+πe^+e^-\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-, hcπ+πh_c\pi^+\pi^-, D0Dπ++c.c.D^0D^{*-}\pi^++c.c., ψ(2S)π+π\psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^-, ωχc0\omega\chi_{c0} and J/ψηJ/\psi\eta channels have been carried out by BESIII, Belle and BABAR collaborations, and also in the DsDˉsD_s^*\bar D_s^* channel. We perform extensive numerical analyses by combining all these data available, together with those in DDˉD\bar D^* and DDˉD^*\bar D^* channels. Though the latter show no evident peak around s=4.230\sqrt{s}=4.230 GeV, the missing X(4260)X(4260) is explained as that it is concealed by the interference effects of the well established charmonia ψ(4040)\psi(4040), ψ(4160)\psi(4160) and ψ(4415)\psi(4415). Our analyses reveal that the leptonic decay width of X(4260)X(4260) ranges from O(102)O(10^2) eV to O(1)O(1) keV, and hence may be explained in the conventional quark model picture. That is, the X(4260)X(4260) may well be interpreted as a mixture of 43S14^3S_1 and 33D13^3D_1 states.
