Abstract

Inspired by the observation of the Pcs(4459)P_{cs} (4459) state by LHCb recently, we reexamine the results of the interaction of the J/ψΛJ/\psi \Lambda channel with its coupled channels, exploiting the coupled channel unitary approach combined with heavy quark spin and local hidden gauge symmetries. By tuning the only free parameter, we find a pole of (4459.07+i6.89)(4459.07+i6.89) MeV below the DˉΞc\bar D^* \Xi_c threshold, which was consistent well with the mass and width of the Pcs(4459)P_{cs} (4459) state. Thus, we assume the Pcs(4459)P_{cs} (4459) state to be a DˉΞc\bar D^* \Xi_c bound state with the uncertainties on its degeneracy with JP=12J^P = \frac{1}{2}^- and JP=32J^P = \frac{3}{2}^-. For the degeneracy, it would have two-poles structure, like Pc(4450)P_c (4450) before. There is another pole in the JP=12J^P = \frac{1}{2}^- sector, (4310.53+i8.23)(4310.53+i8.23) MeV, corresponding to a deep bound state of DˉΞc\bar D \Xi_c. Furthermore, the previously predicted loose bound states of DˉΞc\bar D \Xi'_c, DˉΞc\bar D^* \Xi'_c, DˉΞc\bar D^* \Xi^*_c with J=1/2, I=0J=1/2,~I=0 and DˉΞc\bar D^* \Xi'_c, DˉΞc\bar D \Xi^*_c, DˉΞc\bar D^* \Xi_c^* with J=3/2, I=0J=3/2,~I=0 may exist as either bound states or unbound virtual states. We hope that future experiments can search for the Dˉ()Ξc\bar D^{(*)} \Xi_c molecular states in their dominant decay channels of Dˉs()Λc\bar D^{(*)}_s \Lambda_c, also in the J/ψΛJ/\psi \Lambda and ηcΛ\eta_c \Lambda channels to reveal their different nature.
