Abstract

Several XX and ZcsZ_{cs} exotic hadrons were claimed in the LHCb's amplitude analysis on B+J/ψϕK+B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+. The data shows that all the peaks and also dips in the spectra are located at thresholds of seemingly relevant meson-meson channels. While the LHCb analysis fitted the peaks with Breit-Wigner resonances, threshold kinematical cusps might be the cause of such structures. We thus analyze the LHCb data considering the threshold cusps. Our model is simultaneously fitted to J/ψϕJ/\psi \phi, J/ψK+J/\psi K^+, and K+ϕK^+\phi invariant mass distributions. The threshold cusps fit well all the XX, ZcsZ_{cs}, and dip structures. Our analysis indicates that spin-parity of the X(4274)X(4274) and X(4500)X(4500) structures are 00^- and 11^-, respectively. This is different from the LHCb's spin-parity assignments (1+1^+ and 0+0^+). The number of fitting parameters can be significantly reduced by considering the relevant threshold cusps. Our analysis shows that Ds()DˉD_s^{(*)}\bar{D}^{*} scattering lengths are consistent with zero. This disfavors an explanation of Zcs(4000)Z_{cs}(4000) and Zcs(4220)Z_{cs}(4220) as Ds()DˉD_s^{(*)}\bar{D}^{*} molecules, which is consistent with lattice QCD via the SU(3) relation.
