Interpretations of the new LHCb $P_c(4337)^+$ pentaquark state
Abstract
Recently the LHCb collaboration has observed a new pentaquark state, the . Owing to its proximity to the , , and thresholds, this new pentaquark might very well be a meson-baryon bound state. However its spin and parity have not been determined yet and none of the previous possibilities can be ruled out. We briefly explore a few of these options and the consequences they entail in the present manuscript: (i) the might be a bound state, (ii) the and might be and states close to threshold, respectively, where the Breit-Wigner mass might not correspond to the location of the poles, (iii) the locations of the and might be explained in terms of the - and - coupled channel dynamics. This last option, though not the most probable explanation, is still potentially compatible with the double peak solution of the and with what we know of the . As a byproduct of the previous explorations, we conjecture the existence of a series of anticharmed meson - antitriplet charmed baryon bound states and calculate their masses.
