The nature of the $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ pentaquarks is a fascinating theoretical question. Within the molecular picture their more usual interpretation is that of $I=\tfrac{1}{2}$ $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D}^*…
Assuming that the $P_c(4312)^+$ is a $I(J^P)=\frac12(\frac32^-)$ compact pentaquark, we study the mass spectrum of its S-wave hidden-charm partner states in a color-magnetic interaction model. Combining the information from their decays…
The three pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, can be nicely arranged into a multiplet of $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ of seven molecules dictated by…
The nature of the three narrow $P_c$ states, i.e., $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$, is under intense discussion since their discovery from the updated analysis by LHCb. In this work we extend our previous coupled-channel approach…
Based on our previous QCD sum rule studies on hidden-charm pentaquark states, we discuss possible interpretations of the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$, which were recently observed by LHCb. Our results suggest that the…
We study the newly reported hidden-charm pentaquark candidates $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ from the LHCb Collaboration, in the framework of the effective-range expansion and resonance compositeness relations. The scattering…
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…
We address the issue of the width and spin assignment of the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ pentaquark states. We calculate the partial decays widths of the particles into $J/\psi N$, $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D} \Lambda_c$ with the first…
We provide a simple explanation for the observed hidden-charm pentaquarks as bound states in Born-Oppenheimer potentials. We identify $P_{c\bar{c}}(4312)^+$, $P_{c\bar{c}}(4440)^+$, and $P_{c\bar{c}}(4457)^+$ as heavy-quark spin states in a…
The LHCb collaboration has recently observed three narrow pentaquark states --- the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$ ---that are located close to the $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c$ thresholds. Among the so-far proposed…
$P_c(4312)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration is confirmed as a pentaquark and its structure, production, and decay behaviors attract great attention from theorists and experimentalists. Since its mass is very close to sum of $\Sigma_c$…
We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark $P_c(4312)^+$ to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rule approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to $\Sigma_c^{++}\bar{D}^-$ threshold and…
Heavy quark symmetries are useful for predicting the existence of heavy states, their masses, and spin states. Despite numerous studies on the $P_{c\bar{c}}(4440)$ and $P_{c\bar{c}}(4457)$ heavy states, their spin states have not been…
In this article, we restudy the ground state mass spectrum of the diquark-diquark-antiquark type $uudc\bar{c}$ pentaquark states with the QCD sum rules by carrying out the operator product expansion up to the vacuum condensates of $13$ in a…
Three hidden-charm pentaquark $P_c$ states, $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$ were revealed in the $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ process measured by LHCb using both run I and run II data. Their nature is under lively discussion, and…
The nature of the three pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, is still under debate, although the $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}$ molecular interpretation seems to be…
$P_c$ resonances are studied in the approach of quark model and group theory. It is found that there are totally 17 possible pentaquark states with the quark contents $q^3Q \bar Q$ ($q$ are $u$ and $d$ quarks; $Q$ is $c$ quark) in the…
The spins of the pentaquark states $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ play a decisive role in unraveling their nature, but remain undetermined experimentally. Assuming that they are $\Sigma_c\bar{D}^{*}$ bound states, we demonstrate how one can…
In this work, we tentatively identify the $P_{cs}(4338)$ as the $\bar{D}\Xi_c$ molecular state, and distinguish the isospins of the current operators to explore the $\bar{D}\Xi_c$, $\bar{D}\Lambda_c$, $\bar{D}_s\Xi_c$, $\bar{D}_s\Lambda_c$,…
To better understand the nature and internal structure of the exotic states discovered by many collaborations, more information on their electromagnetic properties and their strong and weak interactions with other hadrons is needed. The…
