Abstract

The recent LHCb discovery of states Pc+(4380)P_c^+(4380), Pc+(4450)P_c^+(4450), believed to be ccˉuudc\bar c uud pentaquark resonances, begs the question of whether equivalent states with ccˉssˉc\bar c \to s\bar s exist, and how they might be produced. The precise analogue to the Pc+P_c^+ discovery channel ΛbJ/ψK ⁣p\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \, K^- \! p, namely, Λcϕπ0 ⁣p\Lambda_c \to \phi \pi^0 \! p, is feasible for this study and indeed is less Cabibbo-suppressed, although its limited phase space suggests that evidence of a ssˉuuds\bar s uud resonance Ps+P_s^+ would be confined to the kinematic endpoint region.
