Quark model description of $\psi(4260)$

From lattice indications we follow a Born-Oppenheimer approximation to build a quark-antiquark static potential for $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ charmonium states below their first S- wave meson-meson threshold. We show that a good description of the mass and decay properties of the experimentally well established $\psi(4260)$ resonance is feasible.
