This paper investigates the decay process $\Lambda_b \to \Sigma_c^{++} D^- K^-$ with the objective of finding a predicted molecular state with isospin $I=1$, $J^P=2^+$ of $D^* K^*$ nature, plus finding support for the $P_c(4312)$ state as…

First evidence of a structure in the $J/\psi \varLambda$ invariant mass distribution is obtained from an amplitude analysis of $\varXi_b^- \to J/\psi \varLambda K^-$ decays. The observed structure is consistent with being due to a…

A full amplitude analysis of $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ decays is performed with a data sample acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. A significantly…

We propose a novel scenario for the peak structures, usually interpreted as hidden charm pentaquark ($P_c$) contributions, in the LHCb's $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ data. The key idea is to utilize leading or lower-order singularities…

$P_c(4457)$ has been discovered over five years, but the parity of this particle remains undetermined. In this letter we propose a new interpretation for $P_c(4457)$, which is the state generated from the coupled-channel…

A $\Sigma^*$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ and mass in the vicinity of the $\bar{K}N$ threshold has been predicted in the unitary chiral approach and inferred from the analysis of CLAS data on the $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi^0…

Inspired by the newly observed $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)$ and the reported $P_{cs}(4459)$, we indicate the existence of the molecular-type characteristic mass spectrum for hidden-charm pentaquark with strangeness. It shows that the…

We adopt the effective Lagrangian approach to study the strong decays of the $1^-(0^{++})$ $D^\ast\bar{D}^\ast$ molecular state [denoted as $T_{\psi0}^a(4010)$ according to the LHCb naming convention] through triangle diagrams. The decay…

The decay behavior of an exotic state can be used to probe its internal structure. We note that the hidden-charm pentaquark states, $P_{\psi}^{N}(4312)$, $P_{\psi}^{N}(4440)$, and $P_{\psi}^{N}(4457)$, have only been observed in the $J/\psi…

We carry out an analysis of the multibody decay cascade $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda^*_J J/\psi \to pK^- J/\psi$ with the $ \Lambda^*_J$ resonance including $\Lambda^*_{1520},\Lambda^*_{1600}$, and $\Lambda^*_{1800}$, and $J/\psi$ reconstructed by…

We investigate the observed pentaquark candidates $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ from the latest LHCb measurement, as well as four possible spin partners in the $\bar{D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^*$ system predicted from the heavy quark spin…

Recently the LHCb collaboration has observed a new pentaquark state, the $P_c(4337)^+$. Owing to its proximity to the $\chi_{c0}(1S) p$, $\bar{D}^* \Lambda_c$, $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D} \Sigma_c^*$ thresholds, this new pentaquark…

Very recently, the LHCb collaboration released the newest measurements of $B_s \to J/\psi p\bar{p}$, where an enhancement structure near 4.34 GeV was observed in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi p$ with the statistical significance of…

We have investigated the cross section for the $\pi^-p\rightarrow K^0\pi\Sigma$ and $pp\rightarrow pK^+\pi\Sigma$ reactions paying attention to a mechanism that develops a triangle singularity. The triangle diagram is realized by the decay…

The data sample of $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ decays acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8~TeV $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, is inspected for the presence of $J/\psi p$ or $J/\psi K^-$…

Recently, several pentaquark states $P_{css}$, with global flavor $\bar c c s s n$, have been predicted within a theoretical framework based on unitary coupled channels. We study theoretically the feasibility to observe the $P_{css}$ with…

Within the chiral unitary approach and with the constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry, we study the coupled channel interactions of ${\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ channels, close to whose thresholds three pentaquark-like $P_c$ states…

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…

In this work, the triangle singularity mechanism is investigated in the $\psi(2S) \to p \bar{p} \eta / p \bar{p} \pi^0$ process. The triangle loop composed by $J/\psi$, $\eta$ and $p$ has a singularity in the physical kinematic range for…

The LHCb collaboration has recently announced the discovery of two hidden-charm pentaquark states with also strange quark content, $P_{cs}(4338)$ and $P_{cs}(4459)$; its analysis points towards having both hadrons isospin equal to zero and…
