The recent LHCb discovery of states Pc+(4380), Pc+(4450), believed to be ccˉuud pentaquark resonances, begs the question of whether equivalent states with ccˉ→ssˉ exist, and how they might be produced. The precise analogue to the Pc+ discovery channel Λb→J/ψK−p, namely, Λc→ϕπ0p, is feasible for this study and indeed is less Cabibbo-suppressed, although its limited phase space suggests that evidence of a ssˉuud resonance Ps+ would be confined to the kinematic endpoint region.
