Publication Abstract: The internal structures of J P C = 1??,(0, 1, 2)?+ charmonium-like hybrids are investigated under lattice QCD in the quenched approximation. We define the Bethe-Salpeter wave function ?n(r) in the Coulomb gauge as the matrix element of a spatially extended hybrid- like operator ¯ccg between the vacuum and n-th state for each J P C with r being the spatial separation between a localized ¯cc component and the chromomagnetic strength tensor. These wave functions exhibit some similarities for states with the aforementioned different quantum numbers, and their r-behaviors (no node for the ground states and one node for the first excited states) imply that r can be a meaningful dynamical variable for these states. Additionally, the mass splittings of the ground states and first excited states of charmonium-like hybrids in these channels are obtained for the first time to be approximately 1.2- 1.4 GeV. These results do not support the flux-tube description of heavy-quarkonium-like hybrids in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In contrast, a charmonium-like hybrid can be viewed as a ?color halo? charmonium for which a relatively localized color octet ¯cc is surrounded by gluonic degrees of freedom, which can readily decay into a charmonium state along with one or more light hadrons. The color halo picture is compatible with the decay properties of Y (4260) and suggests LHCb and BelleII to search for (0, 1, 2)?+ charmonium-like hybrids in ?c0,1,2? and J/??(?) final states.
