Abstract

We have studied the charmonium and bottomonium hybrid states with various JPCJ^{PC} quantum numbers in QCD sum rules. At leading order in αs\alpha_s, the two-point correlation functions have been calculated up to dimension six including the tri-gluon condensate and four-quark condensate. After performing the QCD sum rule analysis, we have confirmed that the dimension six condensates can stabilize the hybrid sum rules and allow the reliable mass predictions. We have updated the mass spectra of the charmonium and bottomonium hybrid states and identified that the negative-parity states with JPC=(0,1,2)+,1J^{PC}=(0, 1, 2)^{-+}, 1^{--} form the lightest hybrid supermultiplet while the positive-parity states with JPC=(0,1)+,(0,1,2)++J^{PC}=(0, 1)^{+-}, (0, 1, 2)^{++} belong to a heavier hybrid supermultiplet.
