Abstract

We perform a lattice study of charmonium-like mesons with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++} and three quark contents cˉcdˉu\bar cc \bar du, cˉc(uˉu+dˉd)\bar cc(\bar uu+\bar dd) and cˉcsˉs\bar cc \bar ss, where the later two can mix with cˉc\bar cc. This simulation with Nf=2N_f=2 and mπ=266m_\pi=266 MeV aims at the possible signatures of four-quark exotic states. We utilize a large basis of cˉc\bar cc, two-meson and diquark-antidiquark interpolating fields, with diquarks in both anti-triplet and sextet color representations. A lattice candidate for X(3872) with I=0 is observed very close to the experimental state only if both cˉc\bar cc and DDˉD\bar D^* interpolators are included; the candidate is not found if diquark-antidiquark and DDˉD\bar D^* are used in the absence of cˉc\bar cc. No candidate for neutral or charged X(3872), or any other exotic candidates are found in the I=1 channel. We also do not find signatures of exotic cˉcsˉs\bar cc\bar ss candidates below 4.3 GeV, such as Y(4140). Possible physics and methodology related reasons for that are discussed. Along the way, we present the diquark-antidiquark operators as linear combinations of the two-meson operators via the Fierz transformations.
