In 2019, the Belle Collaboration observed a vector charmonium-like state
Y(4626) in the portal ofe+e−→D+sDs1(2536)−+c.c., and its mass and width are4625.9+6.2−6.0(stat.)±0.4(syst.) MeV and49.8+13.9−11.5(stat.)±4.0(syst.) MeV, respectively [1]. In 2008, the Belle Collaboration reported a near-threshold enhancement in thee+e−→Λ+cΛ−c cross section, and the peak corresponds to a hadronic resonance, which is named asY(4630) [2]. Recently, a simultaneous fit was performed to the data analysis ofe+e−→Λ+cΛ−c, and a peak with mass and width being4636.1+9.8−7.2(stat.)±8.0(syst.) MeV and34.5+21.0−16.2(stat.)± 5.6(syst.) MeV, respectively was observed [3]. Due to their very close masses and widths, it is natural to consider thatY(4626) andY(4630) are the same resonances. In Ref. [4], the authors explainedY(4626) andY(4660) ① [5] to be mixtures of two excited charmonia. This may also be a non-resonant threshold enhancement due to the opening of theΛ+cΛ−c channel as discussed in [6, 7], whereas the authors [8] suggestedY(4626) as a molecular stateD∗sˉDs1(2536) . In Refs. [9, 10]Y(4626) was regarded as a tetraquarkcsˉcˉs .Since 2003, many exotic resonances of X, Y, and Z bosons [11-20] have been experimentally observed, such as
X(3872) ,X(3940) ,Y(3940) ,Z(4430) ,Y(4260) ,Zc (4020),Zc (3900),Zb(10610), andZb(10650) (of course, this is not a complete list). These states have attracted the attention of theorists because their structures are obviously beyond the simpleqˉq settings for mesons. If we can firmly determine their compositions, it would definitely enrich our knowledge on hadron structures and moreover, shed light on the non-perturbative quantum chromodynamic (QCD) effects at lower energy ranges. Studies with different explanations of the inner structures [21] have been attempted, such as in terms of the molecular state, tetraquark, or dynamical effects [22]. Although all the ansatz have a certain reasonability, a unique picture or criterion for firmly determining the inner structures is still lacking. Nowadays, the majority of phenomenological researchers conjecture what the concerned exotic states are composed of, simply based on the available experimental data. Then, by comparing the results with new data, one can verify the degree of validity of the proposal. If the results obviously contradict the new measurements that have better accuracy, the ansatz should be abandoned. Following this principle, we exploreY(4626) by assuming it to be a molecular state ofD∗sˉDs1(2536) , and then, by using a more reliable theoretical framework, we verify the scenario and see if the proposal based on our intuition is valid.Thus, in this work, we suppose
Y(4626) as aD∗sˉDs1(2536) molecular state, and we employ the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equation, which is a relativistic equation established on the basis of quantum field theory, to study the two-body bound state [23]. Initially, the B-S equation was used to study the bound state of two fermions [24-26]. Subsequently, the method was generalized to the system of one-fermion-one-boson [27]. In Refs. [28, 29], the authors employed the Bethe-Salpeter equation to study some possible molecular states, such as theKˉK andBˉK systems. Using the same approach, the bound states ofBπ ,D(∗)D(∗) , andB(∗)B(∗) are studied [30, 31]. Recently, the approach was applied to explore doubly charmed baryons [32, 33] and pentaquarks [34, 35]. In this work, we try to calculate the spectrum ofY(4626) composed of a vector meson and an axial vector meson.If two constituents can form a bound state, the interaction between them should be large enough to hold them into a bound state. The chiral perturbation theory tells us that two hadrons interact via exchanging a certain mediate meson(s) and the forms of the effective vertices are determined by relevant symmetries; however, the coupling constants generally are obtained by fitting data. For the molecular states, since two constituents are color-singlet hadrons, the exchanged particles are some light mesons with definite quantum numbers. It is noted that even though there are many possible light mesons contributing to the effective interaction between the two constituents, generally one or several of them would provide the dominant contribution. Further, the scenario with other meson exchanges should also be considered, because even though the extra contributions are small compared to the dominant one(s), they sometimes are not negligible, i.e., they would make a secondary contribution to the effective interaction. Then, the effective kernel for the B-S equation can be set. For the
D∗sˉDs1(2536) system, the contribution ofη [36-38] dominates, whereas in Ref. [36] the authors suggestedσ exchange makes the secondary contribution. In our case that considers the concerned quark contents ofD∗s andˉDs1(2536) , the contribution of {η′ ,f0(980) andϕ } should stand as the secondary type. The effective interactions induced by exchanging {η ,η′ ,f0(980) andϕ } are deduced with the heavy quark symmetry [36-41], and we have presented these formulas in Appendix A. Based on the effective interactions, we can derive the kernel and establish the corresponding B-S equation.With all necessary parameters being chosen beforehand and provided as inputs, the B-S equation is solved numerically. In some cases, the equation does not possess a solution if one or several parameters are set within a reasonable range; in such cases, a conclusion is drawn that the proposed bound state does not exist in nature. On the contrary, a solution of the B-S equation with reasonable parameters implies that the corresponding bound state is formed. In such a case, the B-S wave function is obtained simultaneously, which can be used to calculate the rates of strong decays; this would in turn enable experimentalists to design new experiments for further measurements.
This paper is organized as follows: following the introduction section, a derivation of the B-S equation related to a possible bound state composed of
D∗s andˉDs1(2536) , which are a vector meson and an axial vector meson, respectively, is provided. In Section 3, the formulas for its strong decays are presented. Then, in Section 4, we present the numerical solution of the B-S equation. SinceY(4626) is supposed to be a molecular bound state, the input parameters must be within a reasonable range. However, our results show that this mandatory condition cannot be satisfied, and therefore, we think that such a molecular state ofD∗sˉDs1(2536) may not exist. Further, as we have deliberately set the parameters to a region that is not favored by any of the previous phenomenological works, we can obtain the required spectrum and corresponding wavefunctions. Using the wavefunction, we evaluate the strong decay rate ofY(4626) and present our results in the form of figures and tables. Finally, a brief summary of our work is provided in Section 4. -
Since the newly observed resonance
Y(4626) contains hidden charms and its mass is close to the sum of the masses ofD∗s andˉDs1 , whereD∗s−ˉDs1 corresponds toD∗+s−D−s1 orD∗−s−D+s1 , a conjecture about its molecular structures composed ofD∗s andˉDs1 is favored. For a state with spin-parity being1− , its spatial wave function is in the S wave. Therefore, there are two possible states, namely,Y1=1√2(D∗+sD−s1+D∗−sD+s1) andY2=1√2(D∗+sD−s1D∗−sD+s1) . We will focus on such an ansatz and try to determine numerical results by solving the relevant B-S equation. -
Based on the effective theory,
D∗s andˉDs1 interact mainly via exchangingη . The Feynman diagram at the leading order is depicted in Fig. 1. To take into account the secondary contribution induced by exchanging other mediate mesons, in Ref. [36], the authors consider a contribution of exchangingσ to the effective interaction. Since there are neither u nor d constituents inD∗s andˉDs1 , their coupling toσ would be very weak; thus, the secondary contribution to the interaction may arise from exchangingf0(980) instead. The relevant Feynman diagrams are shown in Fig. 1. In this work, the contributions induced by exchangingη′ (Fig. 1) andϕ(1020) (Fig. 2) are also taken into account. The relations between relative and total momenta of the bound state are defined asp=η2p1−η1p2,q=η2q1−η1q2,P=p1+p2=q1+q2,
(1) where
p1 andp2 (q1 andq2 ) are the momenta of the constituents; p and q are the relative momenta between the two constituents of the bound state at the both sides of the diagram; P is the total momentum of the resonance;ηi=mi/(m1+m2) andmi(i=1,2) is the mass of the i-th constituent meson, and k is the momentum of the exchanged mediator.A detailed analysis on the Lorentz structure [26, 28, 29] is used to determine the form of the B-S wave function of the bound state comprising a vector meson and an axial vector meson (
D∗s andˉDs1 ) inS− wave as the following:⟨0|Tϕa(x1)ϕb(x2)|V⟩=εabcd√6MχdP(x1,x2)Pc,
(2) where
a,b,c, and d are Lorentz indices. The wave function in the momentum space can be obtained by carrying out a Fourier transformation:χaP(p1,p2)=∫d4x1d4x2eip1x1+ip2x2χaP(x1,x2)=(2π)4δ(p1+p2+P)χaP(p).
(3) Using the so-called ladder approximation, one can obtain the B-S equation deduced in earlier references [23-25]:
εabcdχdP(p)Pc=Δ1aα∫d4q(2π)4Kαβμν(P,p,q)×εμνωσχσP(q)PωΔ2bβ,
(4) where
Δ1aα andΔ2bβ are the propagators ofD∗s andˉDs1 respectively, andKαβμν(P,p,q) is the kernel determined by the effective interaction between two constituents, which can be calculated from the Feynman diagrams in Figs. 1 and 2. In order to solve the B-S equation, we decompose the relative momentum p into the longitudinal componentpl (=p⋅v ) and the transverse onepμt (=pμ−plvμ ) = (0,pT ) with respect to the momentum of the bound state P (P=Mv ).Δaα1=i[−gaα+pa1pα1/m21](η1M+pl+ωl−iϵ)(η1M+pl−ωl+iϵ),

Due to the small coupling constants at the vertices, the contribution off0(980) in Fig. 1(b) is suppressed compared with that in Fig. 1(a), so that we ignore the contribution off0(980) in Eq. (7). All the effective interactions are summarized and listed in the Appendix.Since the two constituents of the molecular state are not on-shell, at each interaction vertex a form factor should be introduced to compensate the off-shell effect. The form factor is employed in many Refs. [42-45], even though it has different forms. Here we set it as:
F(k,m)=Λ2−m2Λ2+k2,
(8) where
k is the three-momentum of the exchanged meson andΛ is a cutoff parameter. Indeed, the form factor is introduced phenomenologically and there lacks any reliable knowledge on the value of the cutoff parameterΛ .Λ is often parameterized to beλΛQCD+ms withΛQCD=220 MeV, which is adopted in some Refs. [42-45]. As suggested, the order of magnitude of the dimensionless parameterλ should be close to 1. In our subsequent numerical computations, we set it to be within a wider range of0∼4 .The wave function can be written as
χdP(p)=f(p)ϵd,
(9) where
ϵ is the polarization vector of the bound state andf(p) is the radial wave function. The three-dimension spatial wave function is obtained after integrating overpl f(|pT|)=∫dpl2πf(p).
(10) Substituting Eqs. (7) and (9) into Eq. (4) and multiplying
εabfgχ∗gP(x1,x2)Pf on both sides, one can sum over the polarizations of both sides. Employing the so-called covariant instantaneous approximation [46]ql=pl, i.e., usingpl to replaceql inK(P,p,q) , the kernelK(P,p,q) does not depend onq1 any longer. Then, we follow a typical procedure: integrating overql on the right side of Eq. (4), multiplying∫dpl(2π) on both sides of Eq. (4), and integrating overpl on the left side, to reduce the expression into a compact form. Finally, we obtain6M2f(|pT|)=∫dpl(2π)∫d3qT(2π)3f(|qT|)[(η1M+pl)2−ω21+iϵ][(η2M−pl)2−ω22+iϵ)]×[C1gDs1D∗sηgˉDs1ˉD∗sηF2(k,mη)C0+C1pT⋅qT+C2(pT⋅qT)2+C3(pT⋅qT)3+C4(pT⋅qT)4−(pT−qT)2−m2η,

Analogous to the cases in Refs. [28, 29], the normalization condition for the B-S wave function of a bound state should be
i6∫d4pd4q(2π)8εabcdˉχdP(p)PcM∂∂P0[Iabαβ(P,p,q)+Kabαβ(P,p,q)]εαβμνχνP(q)PμM=1,
(13) where
P0 is the energy of the bound state, which is equal to its mass M in the center of mass frame.I(P,p,q) is a product of reciprocals of two free propagators with a proper weight.Iabαβ(P,p,q)=(2π)4δ4(p−q)(Δaα1)−1(Δbβ2)−1.
(14) In our earlier work [31], we found that the term
Kabαβ(P,p,q) in brackets is negligible; hence, we ignore it as done in Ref. [47].To reduce the singularity of the problem, we ignore the second item in the numerators of the propagators (Eq. (5) and (6)) and
(Δaα1)−1=−igaα(p21−m21) ,(Δbβ1)−1= −igbβ(p22−m22) . Then, the normalization condition isi∫d4pd4q(2π)8f∗(p)∂∂P0[(2π)4δ4(p−q)(p21+m21)(p22+m22)]f(q)=2M.
(15) After performing some manipulations, we obtain the normalization of the radial wave function as the following:

Before we numerically solve the B-S equation, all necessary parameters should be priori determined as accurately as possible. The masses
m_{D^*_s} ,m_{D_{s0}} ,m_{D_{s1}} ,m_{D'_{s1}} ,m_{D_{s2}} ,m_\eta ,m_{\eta'} ,m_{f_0(980)} andm_\phi are obtained from the databook [49]. The coupling constants in the effective interactionsg_{_{D_{s1}D^*_{s}\eta}} ,g_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D^*_{s}\eta}} ,g_{_{D^*_{s}D^*_{s}\eta}} ,g_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D_{s1}\eta}} ,g_{_{D_{s1}D^*_{s}\eta'}} ,g_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D^*_{s}\eta'}} ,g_{_{D^*_{s}D^*_{s}\eta'}} ,g_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D_{s1}\eta'}} ,g_{_{D_{s1}D^*_{s}\phi}} ,g_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D^*_{s}\phi}} ,g_{_{D^*_{s}D^*_{s}\phi}} ,g_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D_{s1}\phi}} ,g'_{_{D^*_{s}D^*_{s}\phi}} ,g'_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D_{s1}\phi}} ,g_{_{D^*_{s}D^*_{s}f_0}} andg_{_{\bar D_{s1}\bar D_{s1}f_0}} are taken from the relevant literature and their values and related references are summarized in the Appendix.With these input parameters, the B-S equation Eq. (12) can be solved numerically. Since it is an integral equation, an efficient way for solving it is by discretizing it and then in turn, solving the integral equation to an algebraic equation group. Effectively, we let the variables
{{|p_T|}} and{{|q_T|}} be discretized into n valuesQ_1 ,Q_2 ,...Q_n (whenn>100, the solution is stable enough, and we set n = 129 in our calculation) and the equal gap between two adjacent values as\dfrac{Q_n-Q_1}{n-1} . Here, we setQ_1 = 0.001 GeV andQ_n = 2 GeV. The n values off(|{{p}_T}|) constitute a column matrix on the left side of the equation and the n elementsf({{|q_T|}}) constitute another column matrix on the right side of the equation as shown below. In this case, the functions in the curl bracket of Eq. (12) multiplied by{\dfrac{|{{q}}_T|^2}{12M^2(2\pi)^2}} would be an effective operator acting onf({{|q_T|}}) . It is specially noted that because of discretizing the equation, even{\dfrac{|{{q}}_T|^2} {12M^2(2\pi)^2}} turns from a continuous integration variable into n discrete values that are involved in then\times n coefficient matrix. Substituting the n pre-setQ_i values into those functions, the operator transforms into ann\times n matrix that associates the two column matrices. It is noted thatQ_1 ,Q_2 ,...Q_n should assume sequential values.\left(\begin{array}{c} f(Q_1) \\... \\f(Q_{129}) \end{array}\right) = A(\Delta E, \lambda)\left(\begin{array}{c} f(Q_1) \\... \\f(Q_{129})) \end{array}\right).
As is well known, if a homogeneous equation possesses non-trivial solutions, the necessary and sufficient condition is that det
|A(\Delta E,\lambda)-I| = 0 (I is the unit matrix), whereA(\Delta E,\lambda) is simply the aforementioned coefficient matrix. Thus, solving the integral equation simplifies into an eigenvalue searching problem, which is a familiar concept in quantum mechanics; in particular, the eigenvalue is required to be a unit in this problem. Here,A(\Delta E,\lambda) is a function of the binding energy\Delta E = m_1+m_2-M and parameter\lambda . The following procedure is slightly tricky. Inputting a supposed\Delta E , we vary\lambda to make det|A(\Delta E,\lambda)-I| = 0 hold. One can note that the matrix equation(A(\Delta E,\lambda)_{ij})(f(j)) = \beta (f(i)) is exactly an eigenequation. Using the values of\Delta E and\lambda , we seek all possible "eigenvalues"\beta . Among them, only\beta = 1 is the solution we expect. In the process of solving the equation group, the value of\lambda is determined, and effectively, it is the solution of the equation group with\beta = 1 . Meanwhile, using the obtained\lambda , one obtains the corresponding wavefunctionf(Q_1),f(Q_2)...f(Q_{129}) which is simply the solution of the B-S equation.Generally,
\lambda should be within the range that is around the order of the unit. In Ref. [42], the authors fixed the value of\lambda to be 3. In our earlier paper [45], the value of\lambda varied from 1 to 3. In Ref. [35], we set the value of\lambda within a range of0\sim 4, by which (as believed), a bound state of two hadrons can be formed. When the obtained\lambda is much beyond this range, one would conclude that the molecular bound state may not exist, or at least it is not a stable state. However, it must be noted that the form factor is phenomenologically introduced and the parameter\lambda is usually fixed via fitting the data, i.e., neither the form factor nor the value of\lambda are derived from an underlying theory, but based on our intuition (or say, a theoretical guess). Since the concerned processes are dominated by the non-perturbative QCD effects whose energy scale is approximately 200 MeV, we have a reason to believe that the cutoff should fall within a range around a few hundreds of MeV to 1 GeV, and by this allegation, one can guess that the value of\lambda should be close to unity. However, from another aspect, this guess does not have a solid support, and further phenomenological studies and a better understanding on low energy field theory are needed to obtain more knowledge on the form factor and the value of\lambda . Thus far, even though we believe this range for\lambda that sets a criterion to draw our conclusion, we cannot absolutely rule out the possibility that some other values of\lambda beyond the designated region may hold. Therefore, we proceed further to compute the decay rates ofY(4626) based on the molecule postulate (see the below numerical results for clarity of this point).Based on our strategy, for the state
Y_2 , we let\Delta E = 0.021 GeV, which is the binding energy of the molecular state asM_{D^*_s}+M_{D_{s1}(2536)}-M_{Y(4626)} . Then, we try to solve the equation|A(\Delta E,\Lambda)-I| = 0 by varying\lambda within a reasonable range. In other words, we are trying to determine a value of\lambda that falls in the range of 0 to 4 as suggested in literature, to satisfy the equation.As a result, we have searched for a solution of
\lambda within a rather large region, but unfortunately, we find that there is no solution that can satisfy the equation.However, for the
Y_1 state, if one still keeps\Delta E = 0.021 GeV but sets\lambda = 10.59 ②, the equation|A(\Delta E,\lambda)-I| = 0 holds, while the contributions induced by exchanging\eta ,\eta' ,f_0(980) and\phi are included. Instead, if the contribution of exchangingf_0(980) (Fig. 2) is ignored, with the same\Delta E, one could obtain a value 10.46 of\lambda , which is very close to that without the contribution off_0(980) . It means that the contribution from exchangingf_0(980) is very small and can be ignored safely. On this basis, we continue to ignore the contribution from exchanging\phi and we fix\lambda = 10.52 , which means that the contribution of\phi is negligible. Therefore, we will only consider the contributions from exchanging\eta and\eta' in subsequent calculations. Meanwhile, by solving the eigen equation, we obtain the wavefunctionf(Q_1), f(Q_2)...f(Q_{129}) . The normalized wavefunction is depicted in Fig. 4 with different\Delta E .Due to the existence of an error tolerance on measurements of the mass spectrum, we are allowed to vary
\Delta E within a reasonable range to fix the values of\lambda again, and for theD_{s1}\bar D^*_s system, the results are presented in Table 1. Apparently, for a reasonable\Delta E , any\lambda value that is obtained by solving the discrete B-S equation is far beyond 4. At this point, we ask ourselves the following question: Does the result imply thatD_{s1}\bar D^*_s fails to form a bound state? We will further discuss its physical significance in the next section.\Delta E /MeV5 10 15 21 26 \lambda 10.14 10.28 10.39 10.52 10.61 Table 1. The cutoff parameter
\lambda and the corresponding binding energy\Delta E for the bound stateD^*_s \bar D_{s1}. A new resonance
Y(4626) has been experimentally observed [1], and it is the fact that is widely acknowledged, but determining its composition demands a theoretical interpretation. The molecular state explanation is favored by an intuitive observation. However, our theoretical study does not support the allegation thatY(4626) is the molecule ofD^*_s\bar D_{s1} .In another respect, the above conclusion is based on a requirement:
\lambda must fall in a range of 0\sim 4, which is determined by phenomenological studies carried out by many researchers. However,\lambda being in 0\sim 4 is by no means a mandatory condition because it is not deduced form an underlying principle and lacks a definite foundation. Therefore, even though our result does not favor the molecular structure forY(4626) , we still proceed to study the transitionsY(4626)\to D^*_{s}\bar D_{s}(2317) ,Y(4626)\to D_{s} \bar D_{s}(2460) ,Y(4626)\to D_{s}(2460)\bar D^*_{s} ,Y(4626)\!\to\! D^*_{s}\bar D_{s}(2460) ,Y(4626)\!\to\! D_{s}\bar D_{s2}(2573) andY\to D_{s}\bar D_{s1}(2536) under the assumption of the molecular composition ofD^*_s\bar D_{s1} .Using the wave function, we calculate the form factors
g_0 ,g_2 ,g'_0 ,g'_2 ,g_{10} ,g_{11} ,g_{12} ,g'_{10} ,g'_{11} ,g' _{12} ,g_{20} ,g''_0 ,g''_2 defined in Eqs. (18, 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29). With these form factors, we obtain the decay widths ofY(4626)\to D^*_{s}\bar D_{s}(2317) ,Y(4626)\!\to\! D_{s}\bar D_{s}(2460) ,Y(4626)\!\to\! D_{s}(2460)\bar D^*_{s} ,Y(4626)\to D^*_{s}\bar D_{s}(2460) ,Y(4626)\to D_{s}\bar D_{s1}(2573) andY(4626)\to D_{s}\bar D_{s2}(2536) , which are denoted as\Gamma_a, \Gamma_b, \Gamma_c, \Gamma_d, \Gamma_e , and\Gamma_f presented in Table 2. The theoretical uncertainties originate from the experimental errors, i.e., the theoretically predicted curve expands to a band.\Gamma_{a} \Gamma_{b} \Gamma_{c} \Gamma_{d} \Gamma_{e} \Gamma_{f} 60.6 \sim 189127 \sim 34297.8 \sim 10221.2 \sim 23.17.89 \sim 8.3661.9 \sim 70.1Table 2. The decay widths (in units of keV) for the transitions.
Certainly, exchanging two
\eta (\eta' ) mesons can also induce a potential as the next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution, but it undergoes a loop suppression. Therefore, we do not consider this contribution i.e., a one-boson-exchange model is employed in our whole scenario. -
In this work, we explore the bound state composed of a vector and an axial vector within the B-S equation framework. Effectively, we study the resonance
Y(4626) , which is assumed to be a molecular state made ofD^*_s and\bar D_{s1}(2536) . According to the Lorentz structure, we construct the B-S wave function of a vector meson and an axial meson. Using the effective interactions induced by exchanging one light meson, the interaction kernel is obtained, and the B-S equation for theD^*_s\bar D_{s1}(2536) system is established. In our calculation, exchanging of an\eta -meson provides the dominant contribution (even though the contribution from\eta' is smaller than that from\eta , we retain it in our calculations) while that induced by exchangingf_0(980) and\phi(1080) can be safely neglected.Under the covariant instantaneous approximation, the four-dimensional B-S equation can be reduced into a three-dimensional B-S equation. By integrating the azimuthal component of the momentum, we obtain a one-dimensional B-S equation, which is an integral equation. Using all input parameters such as the coupling constants and the corresponding masses of mesons, we solve the equation for the molecular state of
D^*_s\bar D_{s1}(2536) . When we input the binding energy\Delta E = M_{Y(4626)}- M_{D^*_s}- M_{\bar D_{s1}(2536)} , we search for\lambda that satisfies the one-dimensional B-S equation. Our criterion is that if there is no solution for\lambda or the value of\lambda is not reasonable, the bound state should not exist in the nature. On the contrary, if a "suitable"\lambda is found as a solution of the B-S equation, we would claim that the resonance could be a molecular state. From the results shown in Table 1, one can find that even for a small binding energy (we deliberately vary the value of the binding energy), the\lambda which makes the equation to hold, must be larger than 9; however, this is far beyond the favorable value provided in the literature, and therefore, we tend to assume that the molecular state ofD^*_s\bar D_{s1}(2536) does not exist unless the coupling constants obtained are larger than those provided in the Appendix.As discussed above, the
\lambda in the form factor at each vertex is phenomenologically introduced and does not receive a solid support from any underlying principle; therefore, we may suspect its application regime, which might be a limitation of the proposed phenomenology. Therefore, we try to overcome this barrier and extend the value to a region that obviously deviates from the region favored by the previous works. For a value of\lambda beyond 10, the solution of the B-S equation exists, and the B-S wavefunction is constructed. Only by using the wavefunctions, we calculate the decay rates ofY(4626)\!\to\! D^*_{s}\bar D_{s}(2317),\;Y(4626)\to D_{s}\bar D_{s}(2460) ,Y(4626)\to D_{s}(2460) \bar D^*_{s},\; Y(4626)\to D^*_{s}\bar D_{s} (2460) ,Y(4626)\!\to\! D_{s}\bar D_{s2}(2573) andY(4626)\!\to \!D_{s}\bar D_{s2}(2536) under the assumption thatY(4626) is a bound state ofD^*_s\bar D_{s1}(2536) . Our results indicate that the decay widths are small compared with the total width ofY(4626) .The important and detectable issuea are the decay patterns deduced above. This would comprise a crucial challenge to the phenomenological scenario. If the decay patterns deduced in terms of the molecular assumptions are confirmed (within an error tolerance), it would imply that the constraint on the phenomenological application of form factor that originates from the chiral perturbation can be extrapolated to a wider region. Conversely, if the future measurements negate the predicted decay patterns, one should acknowledge that the assumption that
Y(4626) is a molecular state ofD^*_s\bar D_{s1}(2536) fails, and therefore, the resonance would be in a different structure, such as a tetraquark or a hybrid.Therefore, we lay our hope on the future experimental measurements on those decay portals, which can help us to clarify the structure of
Y(4626) .One of us (Hong-Wei Ke) thanks Prof. Zhi-Hui Guo for his valuable suggestions.

c.c. is the complex conjugate term, a and b represent the flavors of light quarks, andf_0 denotesf_0(980) . In Ref. [36]{\cal{M}} and{\cal{V}} are3\times 3 hermitian and traceless matrices\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \frac{\pi^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\eta}{\sqrt{6}} &\pi^+ &K^+ \\ \pi^- & -\frac{\pi^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\eta}{\sqrt{6}}&K^0\\ K^-& \bar{K^0} & -\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\eta \end{array}} \right) and\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \frac{\rho^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\omega}{\sqrt{2}} &\rho^+ &K^{*+} \\ \rho^- & \frac{\rho^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\omega}{\sqrt{2}}&K^{*0}\\ K^{*-}& \bar{K^{*0}} & \phi \end{array}} \right) respectively. Next, in order to study the coupling of\eta' withD^*_S andD_{s1} , by following Ref. [50], we need to extend{\cal{M}} to\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \frac{\pi^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\eta_8}{\sqrt{6}}+\frac{\eta_0}{\sqrt{3}} &\pi^+ &K^+ \\ \pi^- & -\frac{\pi^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\eta_8}{\sqrt{6}}+\frac{\eta_0}{\sqrt{3}}&K^0\\ K^-& \bar{K^0} & -\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\eta_8+\frac{\eta_0}{\sqrt{3}} \end{array}} \right) , where\eta_8 and\eta_0 areSU(3) octet and singlet, respectively. The physical states\eta and\eta' are the mixtures of\eta_8 and\eta_0 :\eta = {\rm{cos\theta}}\eta_8-{\rm{sin\theta}}\eta_0 and\eta' = {\rm{sin\theta}}\eta_8+{\rm{cos\theta}}\eta_0 . In order to keep the derived interactions involving\eta unchangedcompared with those formulae given in references [37-39], we set the mixing angle\theta to 0 so that{\cal{M}} = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \frac{\pi^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\eta}{\sqrt{6}}+\frac{\eta'}{\sqrt{3}} &\pi^+ &K^+ \\ \pi^- & -\frac{\pi^0}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\eta}{\sqrt{6}}+\frac{\eta'}{\sqrt{3}}&K^0\\ K^-& \bar{K^0} & -\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\eta+\frac{\eta'}{\sqrt{3}} \end{array}} \right) . In Ref. [50], the authors estimated\theta and obtained it as-18.9^\circ , and hence, the approximation holds roughly.In the chiral and heavy quark limit, the above coupling constants are
