Abstract

Recently observed spectrum of PcP_c states exhibits a strong link to ΣcDˉ()\Sigma_c \bar{D}^{(*)} thresholds. In spite of successful molecular interpretations, we still push forward to wonder whether there exist finer structures. Utilizing the effecitve lagrangians respecting heavy quark symmetry and chiral symmetry, as well as instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equations, we investigate the ΣcDˉ()\Sigma_c \bar{D}^{(*)} interactions and three PcP_c states. We confirm that Pc(4312)P_c(4312) and Pc(4440)P_c(4440) are good candidates of ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c \bar{D} and ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c \bar{D}^{*} molecules with spin-12\frac12, respectively. Unlike other molecular calculations, our results indicate Pc(4457)P_c(4457) signal might be a mixture of spin-32\frac32 and spin-12\frac12 ΣcDˉ\Sigma_c \bar{D}^{*} molecules, where the latter one appears to be an excitation of Pc(4440)P_c(4440). Therefore we conclude that, confronting three LHCb PcP_c signals, there may exist not three, but four molecular states.
