Abstract

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported three PcP_c states in the J/ψp{J/\psi}p channel. We systematically study the mass spectrum of the hidden charm pentaquark in the framework of an extended chromomagnetic model. For the nnnccˉnnnc\bar{c} pentaquark with I=1/2I=1/2, we find that (i) the lowest state is Pc(4327.0,1/2,1/2)P_{c}(4327.0,1/2,1/2^{-}) [We use Pc(m,I,JP)P_{c}(m,I,J^{P}) to denote the nnnccˉnnnc\bar{c} pentaquark], which corresponds to the Pc(4312)P_{c}(4312). Its dominant decay mode is ΛcDˉ\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}^{*}. (ii) We find two states in the vicinity of Pc(4380)P_{c}(4380). The first one is Pc(4367.4,1/2,3/2)P_{c}(4367.4,1/2,3/2^{-}) and decays dominantly to NJ/ψN{J/\psi} and ΛcDˉ\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}^{*}. The other one is Pc(4372.4,1/2,1/2)P_{c}(4372.4,1/2,1/2^{-}). Its dominant decay mode is ΛcDˉ\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}, and its partial decay width of NηcN\eta_{c} channel is comparable to that of NJ/ψN{J/\psi}. (iii) In higher mass region, we find Pc(4476.3,1/2,3/2)P_{c}(4476.3,1/2,3/2^{-}) and Pc(4480.9,1/2,1/2)P_{c}(4480.9,1/2,1/2^{-}), which correspond to Pc(4440)P_{c}(4440) and Pc(4457)P_{c}(4457). In the open charm channels, both of them decay dominantly to the ΛcDˉ\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}^{*}. (iv) We predict two states above 4.5 GeV4.5~\text{GeV}, namely Pc(4524.5,1/2,3/2)P_{c}(4524.5,1/2,3/2^{-}) and Pc(4546.0,1/2,5/2)P_{c}(4546.0,1/2,5/2^{-}). The masses of the nnnccˉnnnc\bar{c} state with I=3/2I=3/2 are all over 4.6 GeV4.6~\text{GeV}. Moreover, we use the model to explore the nnsccˉnnsc\bar{c}, ssnccˉssnc\bar{c} and sssccˉsssc\bar{c} pentaquark states.
