Abstract

In this work, we study the strong decay of the newly observed Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459) assuming that it is a pure ΞcDˉ\Xi_c\bar{D}^{*} molecular state. Considering two possible spin-parity assignments JP=1/2J^P=1/2^{-} and JP=3/2J^P=3/2^{-} the partial decay widths of the ΞcDˉ\Xi_c\bar{D}^{*} molecular state into J/ψΛJ/\psi{}\Lambda, DsΛc+D_s^{-}\Lambda_c^{+}, and DΞc()D\Xi_c^{(')} final states through hadronic loops are evaluated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. In comparison with the LHCb data, the spin-party JP=1/2J^P=1/2^{-} the assignment is preferred while this of JP=3/2J^P=3/2^{-} is disfavored. The Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459) in spin-parity JP=3/2J^P=3/2^{-} case maybe explained as SS-wave coupled bound state with lager ΞcDˉ\Xi_c\bar{D}^{*} component. In addition, the calculated partial decay widths with JP=1/2J^P=1/2^{-} ΞcDˉ\Xi_c\bar{D}^{*} molecular state picture indicates that allowed decay mode, DΞcD\Xi_c^{'}, may have the biggest branching ratio. The experimental measurements for this strong decay process could be a crucial test for the molecule interpretation of the Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459).
