Could $Z_{c}(4025)$ be a $J^{P}=1^{+}$ $D^{*}\bar{D^{*}}$ molecular state?

Abstract

We investigate whether the newly observed narrow resonance $Z_{c}(4025)$ can be described as a $D^{*}\bar{D^{*}}$ molecular state with quantum numbers $J^{P}=1^{+}$. Using QCD sum rules, we consider contributions up to dimension six in the operator product expansion and work at leading order of $\alpha_{s}$. The mass obtained for this state is $(4.05\pm 0.28) \mbox{GeV}$. It is concluded that $D^{*}\bar{D^{*}}$ molecular state is a possible candidate for $Z_{c}(4025)$.
