Abstract

This work investigates dynamically generated hidden-charm baryon resonances arising from meson-baryon interactions. Using the local hidden gauge formalism, we model the interaction via t-channel vector meson exchange and unitarize the amplitude using the Bethe-Salpeter equation. To address regularization issues, we propose a novel ``hybrid loop function'' scheme that eliminates the unphysical poles -- common artifacts in cutoff or dimensional regularization -- while keeping the predictions of physical states. Consequently, the model successfully reproduces six experimentally known hidden-charm pentaquarks as well as earlier theoretical results, and predicts new states in the S=-1, I=1 sector.
