Abstract

The di-electron widths of ψ(4040)\psi(4040), ψ(4160)\psi(4160), and ψ(4415)\psi(4415), and their ratios are shown to be in good agreement with experiment, if in all cases the SDS-D mixing with a large mixing angle θ34\theta\approx 34^\circ is taken. Arguments are presented why continuum states give small contributions to the wave functions at the origin. We find that the Y(4360) resonance, considered as a pure 33D13 {}^3D_1 state, would have very small di-electron width, Γee(Y(4360))=0.060\Gamma_{ee}(Y(4360))=0.060 keV. On the contrary, for large mixing between the 43S14 {}^3S_1 and 33D13 {}^3D_1 states with the mixing angle θ=34.8\theta=34.8^\circ, Γee(ψ(4415))=0.57\Gamma_{ee}(\psi(4415))=0.57 keV coincides with the experimental number, while a second physical resonance, probably Y(4360), has also a rather large Γee(Y(4400))=0.61\Gamma_{ee} (Y(\sim 4400))=0.61 keV. For the higher resonance Y(4660), considered as a pure 53S15 {}^3S_1 state, we predict the di-electron width Γee(Y(4660))=0.70\Gamma_{ee}(Y(4660))=0.70 keV, but it becomes significantly smaller, namely 0.31 keV, if the mixing angle between the 53S15 {}^3S_1 and 43D14 {}^3D_1 states θ=34\theta=34^\circ. The mass and di-electron width of the 63S16 {}^3S_1 charmonium state are calculated.
