Abstract

The BESIII collaboration has recently observed a resonant structure Y(4500)Y(4500) in e+eJ/ψK+Ke^{+}e^{-}\to J/\psi K^{+}K^{-}, whose origin remains unresolved. In this study, we analyze the cross section line shape of e+eJ/ψK+Ke^{+}e^{-}\to J/\psi K^{+}K^{-} by taking into account the ψ(4415)\psi(4415) state and intermediate charmed meson loops. By treating ψ(4415)\psi(4415) as both a pure SS-wave state and SS-DD mixed states, and introducing the Zcs()Z_{cs}^{(\prime)} resonance, we find that the Y(4500)Y(4500) peak at s=4.5 GeV\sqrt{s}=4.5~\text{GeV} arises from the triangle singularity mechanism in the Zcs()Z_{cs}^{(\prime)}-mediated rescattering processes, supporting its interpretation as a threshold effect rather than a conventional resonance.
