Is the $Y(2175)$ a Strangeonium Hybrid Meson?

QCD Gaussian sum-rules are used to explore the vector ($J^{PC}=1^{--}$) strangeonium hybrid interpretation of the $Y(2175)$. Using a two-resonance model consisting of the $Y(2175)$ and an additional resonance, we find that the relative resonance strength of the $Y(2175)$ in the Gaussian sum-rules is less than 5\% that of a heavier 2.9 GeV state. This small relative strength presents a challenge to a dominantly-hybrid interpretation of the $Y(2175)$.
