Abstract

We propose a novel scenario for the peak structures, usually interpreted as hidden charm pentaquark (PcP_c) contributions, in the LHCb's Λb0J/ψpK\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^- data. The key idea is to utilize leading or lower-order singularities from double triangle mechanisms. The singularities cause anomalous threshold cusps, which are significantly more singular than the ordinary ones, at the Σc()Dˉ()\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)} threshold. We demonstrate that the double triangle amplitudes interfere with other common mechanisms to create peak structure that fit well the Pc(4312)+P_c(4312)^+, Pc(4380)+P_c(4380)^+, and Pc(4457)+P_c(4457)^+ peaks in the data. This picture is completely different from commonly used ones such as hadron molecules and compact pentaquarks. Meanwhile, Pc(4440)+P_c(4440)^+ is included in the proposed model as a resonance with width and strength significantly smaller than previously estimated. The proposed model can (partly) explain the current data for other processes where Pc+P_c^+ signals are expected such as: no Pc+P_c^+ signals in the GlueX J/ψJ/\psi photoproduction data; a possible signal only from Pc(4440)+P_c(4440)^+ in the LHCb's Λb0J/ψpπ\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p \pi^- data.
