Abstract

Pc(4312)P_c(4312) observed by the LHCb collaboration is confirmed as a pentaquark and its structure, production, and decay behaviors attract great attention from theorists and experimentalists. Since its mass is very close to sum of Σc\Sigma_c and Dˉ\bar D masses, it is naturally tempted to be considered as a molecular state composed of Σc\Sigma_c and Dˉ\bar D. Moreover, Pc(4312)P_c(4312) is observed in the channel with J/ψpJ/\psi p final state, requiring that isospin conservation Pc(4312)P_c(4312) is an isospin-1/2 eigenstate. In literature, several groups used various models to estimate its spectrum. We systematically study the pentaquarks within the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter equation; thus Pc(4312)P_c(4312) is an excellent target because of the available data. We calculate the spectrum of Pc(4312)P_c(4312) in terms of the Bethe-Salpter equations and further study its decay modes. Some predictions on other possible pentaquark states that can be tested in future experiments are made.
