Molecular states with hidden charm and strange in QCD Sum Rules

Abstract

This work uses the QCD Sum Rules to study the masses of the and molecular states with quantum numbers . Interpolating currents with definite C-parity are employed, and the contributions up to dimension eight in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) are taken into account. The results indicate that two hidden strange charmonium-like states may exist in the energy ranges of and , respectively. The hidden strange charmonium-like states predicted in this work may be accessible in future experiments, e.g., BESIII, BelleII and SuperB. Possible decay modes, which may be useful in further research, are predicted.
