We estimate the masses of the 1^{–} heavy four-quark and molecule states by
combining exponential Laplace (LSR) and finite energy (FESR) sum rules known
perturbatively to lowest order (LO) in alpha_s but including non-perturbative
terms up to the complete dimension-six condensate contributions. This approach
allows to fix more precisely the value of the QCD continuum threshold (often
taken ad hoc) at which the optimal result is extracted.
We use double ratio of sum rules (DRSR) for determining the SU(3) breakings
terms. We also study the effects of the heavy quark mass definitions on these
LO results.
The SU(3) mass-splittings of about (50 - 110) MeV and the ones of about (250
-
- MeV between the lowest ground states and their 1st radial excitations
are (almost) heavy-flavour independent.
The mass predictions summarized in Table 4 are compared with the ones in the
literature (when available) and with the three Y_c(4260,~4360,~4660) and
Y_b(10890) 1^{–} experimental candidates. We conclude (to this order
approximation) that the lowest observed state cannot be a pure 1^{–}
four-quark nor a pure molecule but may result from their mixings. We extend the
above analyzes to the 0^{++} four-quark and molecule states which are about
(0.5-1) GeV heavier than the corresponding 1^{–} states, while the splittings
between the 0^{++} lowest ground state and the 1st radial excitation is about
(300-500) MeV. We complete the analysis by estimating the decay constants of
the 1^{–} and 0^{++} four-quark states which are tiny and which exhibit a
1/M_Q behaviour.
Our predictions can be further tested using some alternative non-perturbative
approaches or/and at LHCb and some other hadron factories.
