Abstract

We investigate the resonant baryonic BB decay BPcs0pˉ,Pcs0J/ψΛB^-\to {\cal P}_{cs}^0\bar p,{\cal P}_{cs}^0\to J/\psi \Lambda, where Pcs0Pcs(4338)0{\cal P}_{cs}^0\equiv {\cal P}_{cs}(4338)^0 is identified as a hidden charm pentaquark candidate with strangeness. By interpreting Pcs0{\cal P}_{cs}^0 as the ΞcDˉ\Xi_c\bar D molecule that strongly decays into J/ψΛJ/\psi\Lambda and ηcΛ\eta_c\Lambda, we discover a dominant triangle rescattering effect for BPcs0pˉB^-\to {\cal P}_{cs}^0\bar p, initiated by BJ/ψKB^-\to J/\psi K^-. Through the exchange of a Λˉ\bar \Lambda anti-baryon, J/ψJ/\psi and KK^- undergo rescattering, transforming into Pcs0{\cal P}_{cs}^0 and pˉ\bar p, respectively. Based on this rescattering mechanism, we calculate B(BPcs0pˉ,Pcs0J/ψΛ)=(1.41.1+2.1)×106{\cal B}(B^-\to {\cal P}_{cs}^0\bar p,{\cal P}_{cs}^0\to J/\psi \Lambda) =(1.4^{+2.1}_{-1.1})\times10^{-6}, which is consistent with the measured data.
