Abstract

The possible hadronic molecules in Ds()+Ξc(,)D_s^{(*)+}\Xi_c^{(',*)} systems with JP=1/2,3/2J^P=1/2^-,3/2^- and 5/25/2^- are investigated with interactions described by light meson exchanges. By varying the cutoff in a phenomenologically reasonable range of 12.51\sim2.5 GeV, we find ten near-threshold (bound or virtual) states in the single-channel case. After introducing the coupled-channel dynamics of Ds+ΞcD_s^{+}\Xi_c-Ds+ΞcD_s^{+}\Xi_c^{'}-Ds+ΞcD_s^{*+}\Xi_c-Ds+ΞcD_s^{+}\Xi_c^{*}-Ds+ΞcD_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{'}-Ds+ΞcD_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{*} systems, these states, except those below the lowest channels in each JPJ^{P} sector, move into the complex energy plane and become resonances in the mass range of 4.434.764.43\sim4.76 GeV. Their spin-parities and nearby thresholds are 1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{+}\Xi_c), 1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{+}\Xi_c^{'}), 1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c),1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{'}), 1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{*}) , 3/2(Ds+Ξc)3/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c), 3/2(Ds+Ξc)3/2^-(D_s^{+}\Xi_c), 3/2(Ds+Ξc)3/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{'}), 3/2(Ds+Ξc)3/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{*}), and 5/2(Ds+Ξc)5/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c^{*}). The impacts of the δ(r)\delta(r)-term in the one-boson-exchange model on these states are presented. Setting Λ=1.5\Lambda=1.5 GeV as an illustrative value, it is found that 1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{+}\Xi_c) is a stable bound state (becoming unstable if turning on the coupling to lower channels), 1/2(Ds+Ξc)1/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c) and 3/2(Ds+Ξc)3/2^-(D_s^{*+}\Xi_c) are physical resonances in both cases of including or excluding the δ(r)\delta(r)-term, while the other seven states are physical resonances or ``virtual-state-like" poles near thresholds, depending on including the δ(r)\delta(r)-term or not. In addition, the partial decay widths of the physical resonances are provided. These double-charm hidden-strangeness pentaquark states, as the partners of experimentally observed PcP_c and PcsP_{cs} states, can be searched for in the D()ΛcD^{(*)}\Lambda_c final states in future.
