Prediction of a narrow exotic hadronic state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{--}$
Abstract
Lots of charmonium-like structures have been observed in the last two decades. Most of them have quantum numbers that can be formed by a pair of charm and anticharm quarks, thus it is difficult to unambiguously identify the exotic ones among them. In this Letter, by exploiting heavy quark spin symmetry, we present a robust prediction of the hadronic molecular scenario, where the and are identified as and bound states, respectively. We show that a flavor-neutral charmonium-like exotic state with quantum numbers , denoted as , should exist as a bound state. The mass and width of the } are predicted to be MeV and less than 10 MeV, respectively. The is significant in two folds: no hadron has been observed so far, and a study of this state will enlighten the understanding of the mysterious vector mesons between 4.2 and 4.5 GeV, as well as the nature of previously observed exotic and states. We propose that such an exotic state can be searched for in and uniquely identified by measuring the angular distribution of the outgoing meson.
