Abstract

In this work we provide predictions for bottom-strange molecular states within the Hidden Gauge Formalism. We study the coupled-channel scattering of B()Kˉ()B^{(*)}\bar{K}^{(*)} states and, by fixing only one free parameter to obtain the mass of a new excited Bs0B_s^0 state seen by the LHCb, we predict the pole parameters of six states in this sector. Concretely, we get that the masses of the flavor partners of the Ds0(2317)D_{s0}(2317) and Ds1(2460)D_{s1}(2460) states in the bottom sector are 57605760 and 58025802 MeV for the BKˉB\bar{K} (JP=0+J^P=0^+) and BKˉB^{*}\bar{K} (1+1^+) states, respectively. Moreover, the recently seen states by the LHCb with masses around 61006100 and 61606160 MeV can be interpreted as BKˉB\bar{K}^* and BKˉB^*\bar{K}^* molecular states, according to reasonable values of the pole parameters and the splitting between these two states obtained in our calculation.
