Abstract

The LHCb collaboration has detected a new hidden-charm pentaquark with the quantum numbers of a Λ\Lambda baryon: the PψsΛ(4338)P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338). This pentaquark will be interpreted as a DˉsΛc\bar{D}_s \Lambda_c-DˉΞc\bar{D} \Xi_c resonance within a contact-range theory. Here we briefly comment on the relation of the new PψsΛ(4338)P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338) with the PψsΛ(4459)P^{\Lambda}_{\psi s}(4459). We find that the PψsΛ(4338)P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338) and PψsΛ(4459)P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4459) both accept a common description in terms of the same parameters, which predicts the existence of a few additional PψNP_{\psi}^N, PψsΛP_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}, PψsΣP_{\psi s}^{\Sigma} and PψssΞP_{\psi s s}^{\Xi} molecular pentaquarks composed of a charmed antimeson and an antitriplet charmed baryon. The most robust of these predicted pentaquarks is a PψsΛP_{\psi s}^{\Lambda} with a mass in the (42354255)MeV(4235-4255)\,{\rm MeV} range, while other two interesting ones are a PψN(4150)P_{\psi}^{N}(4150) and a PψΣ(4335)P_{\psi}^{\Sigma}(4335), the latter basically at the same mass as the PψΛ(4338)P_{\psi}^{\Lambda}(4338), with which it might mix owing to isospin symmetry breaking effects.
