Rich structure of the hidden-charm pentaquarks near threshold regions
Abstract: The recent abundant observations of pentaquarks and tetraquarks by high-energy accelerator facilities indicate the realization of the conjecture by Gell-Mann and Zweig, and by De Rujula, Georgi and Glashow [1-3]. We construct a coupled-channel model for the hidden-charm pentaquarks with strangeness whose quark content is $udsc \bar c$, $P_{cs}$, described as $ \Lambda_c \bar{D}s{(*)}, \Xi_c{('*)} \bar{D}{(*)}$ molecules coupled to the five-quark states. These molecules are formed by the suitable cooperation of heavy quark and chiral symmetries. We reproduce the experimental mass and quantum numbers $JP$ of $P{cs}(4338)$ for which LHCb has just announced the discovery. We make other predictions for new $P_{cs}$ states as molecular states near threshold regions that can be studied by LHCb.
