Abstract

The interpretation of Y(4140) as a \(D^{*}_{s}\bar{D}^{*}_{s}\) molecule is studied dynamically in the one boson exchange approach, where σ, η and φ exchange are included. Ten allowed \(D^{*}_{s}\bar{D}^{*}_{s}\) states with low spin parity are considered, and we find that the J PC=0++, 1+−, 0−+, 2++ and 1−− \(D^{*}_{s}\bar{D}^{*}_{s}\) configurations are most tightly bound. We suggest that the most favorable quantum numbers are J PC=0++ for Y(4140) as a \(D^{*}_{s}\bar{D}^{*}_{s}\) molecule; however, J PC=0−+ and 2++ cannot be excluded. We propose to search for the 1+− and 1−− partners in the J/ψ η and J/ψ η′ final states, which is an important test of the molecular hypothesis of Y(4140) and the reasonability of our model. The 0++ \(B^{*}_{s}\bar{B}^{*}_{s}\) molecule should be deeply bound; experimental search in the ϒ(1S)φ channel at Tevatron and LHC is suggested.
