Lots of charmonium-like structures have been observed in the last two decades. Most of them have quantum numbers that can be formed by a pair of charm and anticharm quarks, thus it is difficult to unambiguously identify the exotic ones among them. In this Letter, by exploiting heavy quark spin symmetry, we present a robust prediction of the hadronic molecular scenario, where the ψ(4230), ψ(4360) and ψ(4415) are identified as DD[over ¯]{1}, D^{*}D[over ¯]{1}, and D^{}D[over ¯]_{2}^{} bound states, respectively. We show that a flavor-neutral charmonium-like exotic state with quantum numbers J^{PC}=0^{--}, denoted as ψ_{0}(4360), should exist as a D^{*}D[over ¯]{1} bound state. The mass and width of the ψ{0}(4360) are predicted to be (4366±18) MeV and less than 10 MeV, respectively. The ψ_{0}(4360) is significant in two folds: no 0^{--} hadron has been observed so far, and a study of this state will enlighten the understanding of the mysterious vector mesons between 4.2 and 4.5 GeV, as well as the nature of previously observed exotic Z_{c} and P_{c} states. We propose that such an exotic state can be searched for in e^{+}e^{-}→ηψ_{0}(4360) and uniquely identified by measuring the angular distribution of the outgoing η meson.
在过去二十年中,人们观测到了许多类粲偶素结构。其中大多数的量子数可由一对粲夸克和反粲夸克构成,因此很难在它们之中明确识别出奇特的结构。在本信函中,通过利用重夸克自旋对称性,我们给出了强子分子图景的可靠预测,其中ψ(4230)、ψ(4360)和ψ(4415)分别被认定为DD[上划线1]、DD[上划线1]和DD[上划线2]束缚态。我们表明,一个量子数为J^{PC}=0^{--}的味中性类粲偶素奇特态,记为ψ_{0}(4360),应作为DD[上划线1]束缚态存在。预测ψ_{0}(4360)的质量和宽度分别为(4366±18) MeV和小于10 MeV。ψ_{0}(4360)在两方面具有重要意义:迄今尚未观测到0^{--}强子,对该态的研究将有助于加深对4.2至4.5 GeV之间神秘矢量介子的理解,以及对先前观测到的奇特Z_{c}和P_{c}态本质的认识。我们提议可在e^{+}e^{-}→ηψ_{0}(4360)过程中寻找这样一个奇特态,并通过测量出射η介子的角分布来唯一识别它。
