A QCD sum rule calculation for the Y(4140) narrow structure

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We use the QCD sum rules to evaluate the mass of a possible scalar mesonic state that couples to a molecular Ds∗Dˉs∗D_{s}^{*}\bar{D}_s^{*} current. We find a mass mDs∗Ds∗=(4.14±0.09)m_{D_s^*D_s^*}=(4.14\pm 0.09) GeV, which is in a excellent agreement with the recently observed Y(4140) charmonium state. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension eight, we work at leading order in αsα_s and we keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass msm_s. We also consider a molecular D∗Dˉ∗D^{*}\bar{D}^{*} current and we obtain mD∗D∗=(4.13±0.10)m_{D^*{D}^*}=(4.13\pm 0.10), around 200 MeV above the mass of the Y(3930) charmonium state. We conclude that it is possible to describe the Y(4140) structure as a Ds∗Dˉs∗D_s^*\bar{D}_s^* molecular state.
