Abstract

We use QCD sum rules to test the nature of the recently observed mesons Y(4260), Y(4350) and Y(4660), assumed to be exotic four-quark (ccˉqqˉ)(c\bar{c}q\bar{q}) or (ccˉssˉ)(c\bar{c}s\bar{s}) states with JPC=1J^{PC}=1^{--}. We work at leading order in αs\alpha_s, consider the contributions of higher dimension condensates and keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass msm_s. We find for the (ccˉssˉ)(c\bar{c}s\bar{s}) state a mass mY=(4.65±0.10)m_Y=(4.65\pm 0.10) GeV which is compatible with the experimental candidate Y(4660), while for the (ccˉqqˉ)(c\bar{c}q\bar{q}) state we find a mass mY=(4.49±0.11)m_Y=(4.49\pm 0.11) GeV, which is higger than the mass of the experimental candidate Y(4350). With the tetraquark structure we are working we can not explain the Y(4260) as a tetraquark state. We also consider molecular Ds0DˉsD_{s0}\bar{D}_s^* and D0DˉD_{0}\bar{D}^* states. For the Ds0DˉsD_{s0}\bar{D}_s^* molecular state we get mDs0Dˉs=(4.42±0.10)m_{D_{s0}\bar{D}_s^*}=(4.42\pm 0.10) GeV which is consistent, considering the errors, with the mass of the meson Y(4350) and for the D0DˉD_{0}\bar{D}^* molecular state we get mD0Dˉ=(4.27±0.10)m_{D_{0}\bar{D}^*}=(4.27\pm 0.10) GeV in excelent agreement with the mass of the meson Y(4260).
