Abstract

The charm quark density-density correlation is calculated for 1S1S and 1P1P conventional charmonia and JPC=1+,0+J^{PC}=1^{-+},0^{+-} charmoniumlike states from lattice QCD and are interpreted as spatial wave functions of these states with some approximations. The angular distributions of ccˉc\bar{c} in conventional charmonia are found to be in accordance with the expectation of two-body systems, while that of the 1+1^{-+} state exhibits an SS-wave feature. However, the ccˉc\bar{c} radial distributions turn out to be strikingly different from the non-relativistic quark model and can be understood by the Dirac theory of two-body bound states. These results provide the first gauge invariant and model-independent three-dimensional portraits of charmonium(like) states.
