The newly measurement of production fractions of $P_c$ states by LHCb collaboration have put restriction on their branching ratios of $J/\psi p$ decay, thus constraining their photoproduction in $\gamma p\to J/\psi p$ reaction. We show the…
The LHCb has reported the observation of a resonancelike structure, the Pc(4450), in the J/psi p invariant masses. In our work, we discuss the feasibility of detecting this structure in J/psi photoproduction, e.g. in the measurements that…
A resonance-like structure, the P_c(4450), has recently been observed in the J/psi p spectrum by the LHCb collaboration. We discuss the feasibility of detecting this structure in J/psi photoproduction in the CLAS12 experiment at JLab. We…
The 2015 LHCb discovery of a structure (denoted by $P_c^+$) decaying in $J/\psi \,p$ and conjectured to be a penta-quark state, has triggered a renewed interest in the question of possible existence of multi-quark states not predicted by…
We propose to measure the photo-production cross section of $J/{\psi}$ near threshold, in search of the recently observed LHCb hidden-charm resonances $P_c$(4380) and $P_c$(4450) consistent with 'pentaquarks'. The observation of these…
Inspired by the observation of the pentaquark states $P_{c}(4312),P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$ at LHCb, photoproduction of these three $P_{c}$ states via the interaction $\gamma p\rightarrow J/\psi p$ is investigated in an effective…
LHCb recently announced the discovery of two exotic structures in the $J/\psi + p$ decay channel, which have been referred to as charmonium-pentaquark states. Resolving between the models and clarifying the nature of the discovered…
In this paper we investigate the production of pentaquark states in the photon -- proton interactions present in hadronic collisions at the RHIC and LHC. We consider two phenomenological models for the $J/\Psi$ photoproduction that consider…
We study the near-threshold $J/\psi$ meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant (${\gamma}p \to {J/\psi}p$, ${\gamma}n \to {J/\psi}n$) and two-step resonant (${\gamma}p \to P_{ci}^+ \to…
We study the near-threshold $J/\psi$ meson production on protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant $K^-p \to {J/\psi}\Lambda$ and two-step resonant ${K^-}p \to P_{cs}(4459)^0 \to {J/\psi}\Lambda$ charmonium production…
We point out that the new exotic resonances recently reported by LHCb in the $J/\psi p$ channel are excellent candidates for photoproduction off a proton target. This test is crucial to confirming the resonant nature of such states, as…
The LHCb Collaboration announced two pentaquark-like structures in the $J/\psi p$ invariant mass distribution. We show that the current information on the narrow structure at 4.45 GeV is compatible with kinematical effects of the…
We investigate the properties of the hidden charm pentaquark-like resonances first observed by LHCb in 2015, by measuring the polarization transfer KLL between the incident photon and the outgoing proton in the exclusive photoproduction of…
Accounting for the LHCb observation that the reported hidden-charm strange pentaquark $P_{cs}(4459)^0$ can split into two substructures, $P_{cs}(4455)^0$ and $P_{cs}(4468)^0$, with a mass difference of 13 MeV as well as the newly observed…
A narrow pentaquark state, $P_c(4312)^+$, decaying to $J/\psi p$ is discovered with a statistical significance of $7.3\sigma$ in a data sample of ${\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-}$ decays which is an order of magnitude larger than that…
Using new experimental data on photoproduction and $\Lambda_b^0$ decays, we derive constraints on the properties of the LHCb $P_c$ states. We conclude that $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4440)$ can be described as $\Sigma_c\bar D$,…
We study the $J/\psi$ photoproduction from nuclei at near-threshold incident photon energies of 5--11 GeV within the nuclear spectral function approach by considering incoherent direct (${\gamma}N \to {J/\psi}N$) and two-step (${\gamma}p…
We propose to study the pentaquark candidates of $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ in $J/\psi$ photoproduction and look for further experimental evidence for their nature. Since the photoproduction process does not satisfy the so-called…
We investigate the possibility of studying the strange hidden-charm pentaquark state $P_{cs}(4459)$ by photon-induced reactions on a proton target in an effective Lagrangian approach. The production process is described by the $t$-channel…
