    Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the Y(4260) state assuming that it can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with JPC=1−−J^{PC}=1^{--} quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around θ≈(53.0±0.5)0\theta \approx (53.0\pm 0.5)^{0}, we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the experimental mass of the Y(4260). However, for the decay width we find the value \Ga_Y \approx (1.0\pm 0.2) MeV which is not compatible with the experimental value \Ga \approx (88\pm 23) MeV. Therefore, we conclude that, although we can explain the mass of the Y(4260), this state cannot be described as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state since, with this assumption, we can not explain its decay width.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    Braneworlds scenarios in a gravity model with higher order spatial three-curvature terms

    In this work we study a Horava-like five-dimensional model in the context of braneworld theory. To begin with, the equations of motion of such model are obtained and, within the realm of warped geometry, we show that the model is consistent if and only if λ\lambda takes its relativistic value 1. Furthermore, since the first derivative of the warp factor is discontinuous over the branes, we show that the elimination of problematic terms involving the square of the warp factor second order derivatives are eliminated by imposing detailed balance condition in the bulk. Afterwards, the Israel's junction conditions are computed, allowing the attainment of an effective Lagrangian in the visible brane. In particular, for a (4+1)-dimensional Horava-like model defined in the bulk without cosmological constant, we show that the resultant effective Lagrangian in the brane corresponds to a (3+1)-dimensional Horava-like model with an emergent positive cosmological constant but without detailed balance condition. Now, restoration of detailed balance condition, at this time imposed over the brane, plays an interesting role by fitting accordingly the sign of the arbitrary constant β\beta that labels the extra terms in the model, insuring a positive brane tension and a real energy for the graviton within its dispersion relation. To end up with, the brane consistency equations are obtained and, as a result, we show that the detailed balance condition again plays an essential role in eliminating bad behaving terms and that the model admits positive brane tensions in the compactification scheme if, and only if, β\beta is negative, what is in accordance with the previous result obtained for the visible brane.Comment: 23 pages, 1 figure, title modifie
