$P_c(4457)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4312)^+$: molecules or compact pentaquarks?


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In a chromomagnetic model, we analyse the properties of the newly observed $P_c(4457)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4312)^+$ states. We estimate the masses of the $(uud)_{8_c}(cbar{c})_{8_c}$ and $(uds)_{8_c}(cbar{c})_{8_c}$ pentaquark states by considering the isospin breaking effects. Their values are determined by calculating mass distances from the $Sigma_c^{++}D^-$ and $Xi_c^{prime+}D^-$ thresholds, respectively. It is found that the isospin breaking effects on the spectrum are small. From the uncertainty consideration and the rearrangement decay properties in a simple model, we find that it is possible to assign the $P_c(4457)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$, and $P_c(4312)^+$ as $J^P=3/2^-$, $1/2^-$, and $3/2^-$ pentaquark states, respectively. The assignment in the molecule picture can be different, in particular for the $P_c(4312)^+$. The information from open-charm channels, e.g. ${cal B}[P_ctoSigma_c^{++}D^-]/{cal B}[P_cto J/psi p]$, will play an important role in distinguishing the inner structures of the $P_c$ states. Discussions and predictions based on the calculations are also given.
