Abstract

We calculate the branching ratio for the production of the meson Y(4260) in the decay B- -> Y(4260)K-. We use QCD sum rules approach and we consider the Y(4260) to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic tetraquark, {[}(c) over bar(q) over bar]{[}qc], states with J(PC) = 1(--). Using the value of the mixing angle determined previously as: theta = (53.0 +/- 0.5)degrees we get the branching ratio B(B -> Y(4260)K) (1.34 +/- 0.47) x 10(-6), which allows us to estimate an interval on the branching fraction 3.0 x 10(-8) < B-Y < 1.8 x 10(-6) in agreement with the experimental upper limit reported by BaBar Collaboration.
