We calculate the masses of $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ light exotic mesons by QCD sum rules; the masses are extracted from four-quark--hybrid mixing correlation functions. We construct several $1^{-+}$ four-quark currents and hybrid currents, and get…

Highlights in the search for nonconventional (non qqbar) meson states are the pi_1(1400) and pi_1(1600) exotic candidates. Should they exist, mounting theoretical arguments suggest that they are tetraquark molecular resonances excitable by…
