$P_c$ Resonances in Molecular Picture

Abstract

We study hidden-charm pentaquarks in the baryon-meson molecule picture within the framework of the constituent quark model, considering all the possible quark configurations for the ground state. The strong decays of the Pc(4312), Pc(4440), and Pc(4457) resonances are investigated. It is found that pentaquark states of all quark configurations in the model can decay through the N J/ψ channel, but only five pentaquark states may decay dominantly in open-charm modes. The partial decay widths in the pηc channel are in the same order as in the pJ/ψ channel for J P = 1/2 − baryonmeson pentaquark states, but the pηc channel is forbidden for J P = 3/2 − states. For Pc(4440) and Pc( 4457), the pηc, Σc D and Λ + c D channels are open only for J P = 1/2 − and the Σ * c D channel is open only for J P = 3/2 − while for Pc(4312), due to the mass threshold of Σc D and Σ * c D higher than 4312 MeV, the pηc and Λ + c D channels are open for J P = 1/2 − but no open-charm cannel open for J P = 3/2 − . We strongly suggest that the spin of the Pc resonances may be determined in experiments by investigating the pηc and open-charm channels.

$P_{c}(4457) \to P_{c}(4312) π/γ$ in the molecular picture

“…c hadronic molecules dictated by HQSS presents itself, which has later been corroborated by many studies [13][14][15][16][17]. Although at present the molecular interpretation is the most favored one [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], there exist other explanations, e.g., hadro-charmonium [25], compact pentaquark states [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], virtual states [34] or double triangle singularities [35].

Investigation of hidden-charm double strange pentaquark candidate $P_{css}$ via its mass and strong decays

“…The meson baryon molecular interpretation was also adopted in Refs. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Ref.…”

Magnetic moments and transition magnetic moments of $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ states

“…MeV, respectively. After the P c states were discovered, many groups tried to explain their structures within the molecular states assumption [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Meanwhile, other explanations were also tried, such as hadro-charmonium [16], compact pentaquark states [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], virtual states [25] and triangle singularities [26].…”
