Description

Very recently a new enhancement around 4.05 GeV was observed by the Belle experiment. We discuss some possible assignments for this enhancement, i.e. the ψ(3S) and D*D* molecular states. In these two assignments, Y(4008) can decay into J/ψπ0π0 with a branching ratio comparable with that of Y(4008)→J/ψπ+π-. Thus, one suggests high energy experimentalists to look for Y(4008) in J/ψπ0π0 channel. Furthermore one proposes further experiments to search for the missing channels DD, DD*+h.c. and especially χcJπ+π-π0 and ηcπ+π-π0, which will be helpful to distinguish the ψ(3S) and D*D* molecular state assignments for this new enhancement.
