The ground and first excited states of the hybrid charmonium cˉcg, with non-exotic quantum numbers JPC=0−+, 1−−
Nearby in the stack
and
1++
are investigated using quenched lattice QCD. They are completely ignored in the literature, only because their ground states are degenerate with
ηc
,
J/ψ
, and
χc1
, and are difficult to be distinguished from these conventional charmonium mesons in experiment. However, we observe strong gluonic radial excitations in the first excited states; We predict that their masses are 4.352(225)GeV, 4.379(149)GeV and 7.315(257)GeV, completely different from the first excited states of the corresponding conventional charmonium. Their relevance to the recent discovery of the Y(4260) state and future experimental search for other states are also discussed.
