Abstract

A partial width formula is proposed using the analytical extension of the wave function in momentum space. The distinction of the Riemann sheets is explained from the perspective of the Schrodinger equation. The analytical form in coordinate space and the partial width are derived subsequently. Then a coupled-channel analysis is performed to investigate the open-charm branching ratios of the PcP_c states, involving the contact interactions and one-pion-exchange potential with the three-body effects. The low energy constants are fitted using the experimental masses and widths as input. The Pc(4312)P_c(4312) is found to decay mainly to ΛcDˉ\Lambda_c\bar{D}^*, while the branching ratios of the Pc(4440)P_c(4440) and Pc(4457)P_c(4457) in different channels are comparable. Under the reasonable assumption that the off-diagonal contact interactions are small, the JPJ^P quantum numbers of the Pc(4440)P_c(4440) and the Pc(4457)P_c(4457) prefer 12\frac{1}{2}^- and 32\frac{3}{2}^- respectively. Three additional PcP_c states at 4380 MeV, 4504 MeV and 4516 MeV, together with their branching ratios, are predicted. A deduction of the revised one-pion-exchange potential involving the on-shell three-body intermediate states is performed.
