Abstract

We study the decay of ΛbJ/ψΛϕ\Lambda_b\to J/\psi\Lambda\phi by taking into account the intermediate resonances X(4140)X(4140), X(4160)X(4160), and Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459). In addition to the peak of the X(4140)X(4140), we also find a bump structure around 4160 MeV followed by a cusp structure around DsDˉsD^*_s\bar{D}^*_s threshold in the J/ψϕJ/\psi\phi invariant mass distribution of the ΛbJ/ψΛϕ\Lambda_b\to J/\psi\Lambda\phi process, which can be associated to the DsDˉsD^*_s\bar{D}^*_s molecular state X(4160)X(4160). We also show that this reaction can also be used to confirm the existence of the hidden-charm pentaquark Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459) with strangeness. We predict an enhancement structure close to the threshold in the DsDˉsD^*_s\bar{D}^*_s invariant mass distribution of the ΛbDsDˉsΛ\Lambda_b\to D^*_s\bar{D}^*_s\Lambda process, which is the reflection of the X(4160)X(4160) and should not be misidentified with a new resonance. We strongly suggest experimentalists to further measure these processes, which can be useful to clarify the nature of X(4140)X(4140) and X(4160)X(4160) resonances, and to confirm the existence of the Pcs(4459)P_{cs}(4459).
