Pole determination of $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)$ and possible $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4255)$ in $B^-\to J/\psi\Lambda\bar{p}$
Abstract
First hidden-charm pentaquark candidate with strangeness, , was recently discovered in by the LHCb Collaboration. shows up as a bump at the threshold in the invariant mass () distribution. The distribution also shows a large fluctuation at the threshold, hinting the existence of a possible . In this work, we determine the and pole positions for the first time. For this purpose, we fit a model to the , , , and distributions from the LHCb simultaneously; . Then we extract poles from a unitary - coupled-channel scattering amplitude built in the model. In our default fit, the pole is found at MeV while the pole at MeV. The and are mostly bound and virtual states, respectively. Through our analysis, the data disfavors a hypothesis of as merely a kinematical effect. This pole determination, which is important in its own right, sets a primary basis to study the nature of the states.
