Strong decays of the $P_{cs}(4459)$ as a $Ξ_c\bar{D}^{*}$ molecule (2107.13267v2)
Abstract: In this work, we study the strong decay of the newly observed $P_{cs}(4459)$ assuming that it is a pure $\Xi_c\bar{D}{*}$ molecular state. Considering two possible spin-parity assignments $JP=1/2{-}$ and $JP=3/2{-}$ the partial decay widths of the $\Xi_c\bar{D}{*}$ molecular state into $J/\psi{}\Lambda$, $D_s{-}\Lambda_c{+}$, and $D\Xi_c{(')}$ final states through hadronic loops are evaluated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. In comparison with the LHCb data, the spin-party $JP=1/2{-}$ the assignment is preferred while this of $JP=3/2{-}$ is disfavored. The $P_{cs}(4459)$ in spin-parity $JP=3/2{-}$ case maybe explained as $S$-wave coupled bound state with lager $\Xi_c\bar{D}{*}$ component. In addition, the calculated partial decay widths with $JP=1/2{-}$ $\Xi_c\bar{D}{*}$ molecular state picture indicates that allowed decay mode, $D\Xi_c{'}$, may have the biggest branching ratio. The experimental measurements for this strong decay process could be a crucial test for the molecule interpretation of the $P_{cs}(4459)$.
