$J/\psi \Lambda $ femtoscopy and the nature of $P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338)$
Abstract
Over the past two decades, numerous exotic hadron states have been discovered, yet their underlying nature remains unclear. It is widely acknowledged that understanding hadron-hadron interactions is essential to unraveling their properties. Hadron spectroscopy is a powerful tool for this endeavor, providing rich experimental data that can shed light on exotic systems. Recently, the LHCb experiment analyzed the process and observed a narrow peak in the invariant mass spectrum, regarding it as a candidate for a pentaquark. In this work, we extract the coupled-channel potential based on the invariant mass spectrum. Our results indicate the existence of a bound state below the mass threshold, corresponding to the experimentally measured state . Furthermore, we predict the scattering lengths and momentum correlation functions for the and channels, which serve as theoretical references for future femtoscopy experiments.
