Abstract

The recent observation of two hidden-charm pentaquark states by LHCb collaborations prompted us to investigate the exotic states close to the DˉΛc\bar{D}\Lambda_{\rm c}, DˉΛc\bar{D}^{\ast}\Lambda_{\rm c}, DˉΣc\bar{D}\Sigma_{\rm c}, DˉΣc\bar{D}\Sigma^{\ast}_{\rm c}, DˉΣc\bar{D}^{\ast}\Sigma_{\rm c} and DˉΣc\bar{D}^{\ast}\Sigma^{\ast}_{\rm c} thresholds. We therefore studied the hadronic molecules that form the coupled-channel system of Dˉ()Λc\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Lambda_{\rm c} and Dˉ()Σc()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma^{(\ast)}_{\rm c}. As the heavy quark spin symmetry manifests the mass degenerations of Dˉ\bar{D} and Dˉ\bar{D}^\ast mesons, and of Σc\Sigma_{\rm c} and Σc\Sigma^\ast_{\rm c} baryons, the coupled channels of Dˉ()Σc()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma^{(\ast)}_{\rm c} are important in these molecules. In addition, we consider the coupling to the Dˉ()Λc\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Lambda_{\rm c} channel whose thresholds are near the Dˉ()Σc()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma^{(\ast)}_{\rm c} thresholds, and the coupling to the state with nonzero orbital angular momentum mixed by the tensor force. This full coupled channel analysis of Dˉ()ΛcDˉ()Σc()\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Lambda_{\rm c}-\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma^{(\ast)}_{\rm c} with larger orbital angular momentum has never been performed before. By solving the coupled-channel Schr\"odinger equations with the one meson exchange potentials that respected to the heavy quark spin and chiral symmetries, we studied the hidden-charm hadronic molecules with I(JP)=1/2(3/2±)I(J^P)=1/2(3/2^\pm) and 1/2(5/2±)1/2(5/2^\pm). We conclude that the JPJ^P assignment of the observed pentaquarks is 3/2+3/2^+ for Pc+(4380)P^+_{\rm c}(4380) and 5/25/2^- for Pc+(4450)P^+_{\rm c}(4450), which is agreement with the results of the LHCb analysis. In addition, we give predictions for other JP=3/2±J^P=3/2^\pm states at 4136.0, 4307.9 and 4348.7 MeV in JP=3/2J^P=3/2^-, and 4206.7 MeV in JP=3/2+J^P=3/2^+, which can be further investigated by means of experiment.
