Anatomy of the newly observed hidden-charm pentaquark states: $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$

Understand

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 lengths and effective ranges from the $S$-wave $\Sigma_c\bar{D}$ and $\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*$ scattering are calculated by using the experimental results of the masses and widths of the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$.
• Then we calculate the couplings between the $J/\psi p,\,\Sigma_c\bar{D}$ channels and the pentaquark candidate $P_c(4312)$, with which we further estimate the probabilities of finding the $J/\psi p$ and $\Sigma_c\bar{D}$ components inside $P_c(4312)$.
• The partial decay widths and compositeness coefficients are calculated for the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ states by including the $J/\psi p$ and $\Sigma_c\bar{D}^*$ channels.
