Using the method of QCD Sum Rules it has been shown that the Psi(2S) and Upsilon(3S) are mixed heavy quark hybrids, about half standard |q-qbar> and half |q-qbar-g > states, with g an active rather than a virtual gluon. The J/Psi(1S), Upsilon(1S) are standard heavy quark mesons. With this theory it is shown that the production of Psi(2S), Upsilon(3S) in p-p and A-A collisions is quite different from the standard model, in agreement with experiment. The nuclear modification and suppression of Psi(2S)/J/Psi(1S) in p-Pb collisions and Upsilon(3S)/Upsilon(1S) in Pb-Pb collisions is also in agreement with experiment using the mixed heavy hybrid theory.
