Understanding the newly observed Y(4008) by Belle
Abstract
Description
Very recently a new enhancement around 4.05 GeV was observed by Belle experiment. In this short note, we discuss some possible assignments for this enhancement, i.e. $ψ(3S)$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state. In these two assignments, Y(4008) can decay into $J/ψπ^0π^0$ with comparable branching ratio with that of $Y(4008)\to J/ψπ^+π^-$. Thus one suggests high energy experimentalists to look for Y(4008) in $J/ψπ^0π^0$ channel. Furthermore one proposes further experiments to search missing channel $D\bar{D}$, $D\bar{D}^*+h.c.$ and especially $χ_{cJ}π^+π^-π^0$ and $η_cπ^+π^-π^0$, which will be helpful to distinguish $ψ(3S)$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state assignments for this new enhancement.
