Abstract

We investigate the possible existence of triple-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states in the off-shell coupled-channel formalism. The open-charm meson-baryon DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s\Omega_c, DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s\Omega_c^*, DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s^*\Omega_c, and DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s^*\Omega_c^* channels are considered, together with the hidden-charm J/ψΩJ/\psi\Omega channel. The two-body kernel Feynman amplitudes are constructed from an effective Lagrangian based on hidden local symmetry and heavy-quark spin symmetry. The coupled Blankenbecler-Sugar equation is solved in the partial-wave helicity basis. We observe two triple-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states: Pccˉsss(4787)P_{c\bar{c}sss}(4787) and Pccˉsss(4841)P_{c\bar{c}sss}(4841), both with JP=1/2J^P=1/2^-. The Pccˉsss(4787)P_{c\bar{c}sss}(4787) couples dominantly to the DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s^*\Omega_c and DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s^*\Omega_c^* channels, while the Pccˉsss(4841)P_{c\bar{c}sss}(4841) couples almost exclusively to the DˉsΩc\bar{D}_s^*\Omega_c^* channel. The total transition cross sections of Dˉs()Ωc()J/ψΩ\bar{D}_s^{(\ast)}\Omega_c^{(\ast)}\to J/\psi\,\Omega indicate that the Pccˉsss(4787)P_{c\bar{c}sss}(4787) is clearly visible in the J/ψΩJ/\psi\,\Omega invariant mass spectrum, whereas the Pccˉsss(4841)P_{c\bar{c}sss}(4841) is obscured by cusp structures and background contributions.
