Strong decays of the vector tetraquark states with the masses about 4.5 GeV via the QCD sum rules

Abstract

We suppose that there exist three vector hidden-charm tetraquark states with the JPC=1−− at the energy about 4.5GeV, and investigate the two-body strong decays systematically. We obtain thirty QCD sum rules for the hadronic coupling constants based on rigorous quark-hadron duality, then obtain the partial decay widths, therefore the total widths approximately, which are compatible with the experimental data of the Y(4500) from the BESIII collaboration. The Y(4500) may be one vector tetraquark state having three main Fock components, or consists of three different vector tetraquark states. We can search for the typical decays Y→D¯10D0−D¯0D102, D¯1−D+−D¯−D1+2, D¯00D⁎0−D¯⁎0D002, D¯0−D⁎+−D¯⁎−D0+2, ηcω, J/ψω to diagnose the nature of the Y(4500).
