Abstract

Making use of a recently proposed formalism, we analyze the composite nature of the Pc(4450)P_c(4450) resonance observed by LHCb. We show that the present data suggest that this state is almost entirely made of a χc1\chi_{c1} and a proton, due to the close proximity to this threshold. This also suppresses the decay modes into other, lighter channels, in our study represented by J/ΨpJ/\Psi p. We further argue that this is very similar to the case of the scalar meson f0(980)f_0(980) which is located closely to the KKˉK\bar K threshold and has a suppressed decay into the lighter ππ\pi\pi channel.
