Abstract

In the framework of one-pion-exchange (OPE) model, we study the hidden-charm and charm-strange molecular pentaquark systems composed of a heavy baryon (Σc,Σc)(\Sigma_c, \Sigma_c^*) and a vector meson (Kˉ,Dˉ)(\bar{K}^*, \bar{D}^*), where the S-D mixing effect is considered in our calculation. Our result shows that the ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D}^* molecular state with (I=1/2,JP=3/2)(I=1/2,J^P=3/2^-) and the ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}^* molecular state with (I=1/2,JP=5/2)(I=1/2,J^P=5/2^-) exist in the mass range of the observed Pc(4380)P_c(4380) and Pc(4450)P_c(4450), respectively. Moreover, we predict two other hidden-charm molecular pentaquarks with configurations ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D}^* (I=3/2,JP=1/2)(I=3/2, J^P=1/2^-) and ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}^* (I=3/2,JP=1/2)(I=3/2, J^P=1/2^-) and two charm-strange molecular pentaquarks Pcs(3340)P_{cs}(3340) and Pcs(3400)P_{cs}(3400) corresponding to the ΣcKˉ\Sigma_c\bar{K}^* configuration with (I=1/2,JP=3/2)(I=1/2, J^P=3/2^-) and the ΣcKˉ\Sigma_c^*\bar{K}^* configuration with (I=1/2,JP=5/2)(I=1/2, J^P=5/2^-), respectively. Additionally, we also predict some hidden-bottom Σb()B\Sigma_b^{(*)}B^* and BcB_c-like Σc()B/Σb()Dˉ\Sigma_c^{(*)}B^*/\Sigma_b^{(*)}\bar{D}^* pentaquarks.
