Abstract

The mass components of charmoniumlike states are investigated through the decomposition of QCD energy-momentum tensor (EMT) on lattice. The quark mass contribution Hm\langle H_m\rangle and the momentum fraction x\langle x\rangle of valence charm quark and antiquark are calculated for conventional 1S,1P,1D1S,1P,1D charmonia and the exotic 1+1^{-+} charmoniumlike state, based on the Nf=2+1N_f=2+1 gauge configurations generated by the RBC/UKQCD collaboration. It is found that Hm\langle H_m\rangle is close to each other and around 2.0 to 2.2 GeV for these states, which implies that the mass splittings among these states come almost from the gluon contribution of QCD trace anomaly. The x\langle x\rangle of the 1+1^{-+} state is only around 0.55, while that in conventional charmonia is around 0.7 to 0.8. This difference manifests that the proportion of light quarks and gluons in the 1+1^{-+} charmoniumlike state is significantly larger than conventional states.
