Analysis of the strong decays of the $Y(4660)$ in tetraquark scenario via the QCD sum rules

Motivated by the enigmatic vector charmonium-like states, we investigate the strong decay behaviors of four kinds of vector tetraquark states, which are possible candidates for the $Y(4660)$, within the framework of three-point QCD sum rules based on rigorous quark-hadron duality. We take into account the vacuum condensates up to dimension 5 on the QCD side, and obtain the hadronic coupling constants therefore the partial decay widths of those states. The predicted total width $61.5\pm 7.3\mathrm{M}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$ is in excellent agreement with the experimental data for the $Y(4660)$, which supports its interpretation as a $[sc][\bar{s}\bar{c}]$ tetraquark state with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$.
