Abstract

In this work, we systemically investigate the molecular states from the Σc()Dˉ()ΛcDˉ()\Sigma^{(*)}_c\bar{D}^{(*)}-\Lambda_c\bar{D}^{(*)} interaction with the help of the Lagrangians with heavy quark and chiral symmetries in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation (qBSE) approach. The molecular states are produced from isodoublet (I=1/2) ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D} interaction with spin parity JP=1/2J^P=1/2^- and ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D}^* interaction with 1/21/2^- and 3/2 3/2^-. Their masses and widths are consistent with the Pc(4312)P_c(4312), Pc(4440)P_c(4440) and Pc(4457)P_c(4457) observed at LHCb. The states, ΣcDˉ(1/2)\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}^*(1/2^-), ΣcDˉ(3/2)\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}^*(3/2^-) and ΣcDˉ(3/2)\Sigma^*_c\bar{D}(3/2^-), are also produced with the same parameters. The isodoublet ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}^* interaction with 5/25/2^-, as well as the isoquartet (I=3/2) ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D}^* interactions with 1/21/2^- and 3/23/2^-, ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}^* interaction with 3/23/2^- and 5/25/2^-, are also attractive while very large cutoff is required to produce a molecular state. We also investigate the origin of the widths of these molecular states in the same qBSE frame. The ΛDˉ\Lambda\bar{D}^* channel is dominant in the decays of the states, ΣcDˉ(1/2)\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*(1/2^-), ΣcDˉ(3/2)\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*(3/2^-), ΣcDˉ(3/2)\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}(3/2^-), and ΣcDˉ(1/2)\Sigma_c\bar{D}(1/2^-). The ΣcDˉ(1/2)\Sigma^*_c\bar{D}^*(1/2^-) state has large coupling to ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D} channel while the ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*, ΣcDˉ\Sigma^*_c\bar{D} and ΛcDˉ\Lambda_c\bar{D}^* channels provide similar contributions to the width of the ΣcDˉ(3/2)\Sigma^*_c\bar{D}^*(3/2^-) state. These results will be helpful to understand the current LHCb experimental results, and the three predicted states and the decay pattern of these hidden-charmed molecular pentaquarks can be checked in future experiments.
