Our model can consistently explain the masses and decay widths of þ þ þ ¯ ¯ à Pc ð4312Þ, Pc ð4440Þ and Pc ð4457Þ with the dominant components of ΣcD and ΣcD with spin-parity P − − − assignments J ¼ 1=2 , 3=2 and 1=2 , respectively. We analyze basic properties of the Pc’s such as masses and decay widths, and find that the mass ordering is dominantly determined by the quark dynamics while the decay widths by the tensor force of the one-pion exchange. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.101.091502 þ In 2015, the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment a broad state Pc ð4380Þ (width ∼200 MeV), in the new (LHCb) Collaboration observed two hidden-charm penta- analysis using higher-order polynomial functions for the þð4380Þ þð4450Þ Λ0 → ψ − quarks, Pc and Pc ,in b J= K p decay background, data can be fitted equally well without the [1] and reported additional analysis efforts [2,3]. These Breit-Wigner contribution corresponding to the broad þ results have motivated hundreds of theoretical articles (just Pc ð4380Þ state. In this situation, more experimental and to make some examples see [4–33]). Recently a new theoretical studies are needed to fully understand the analysis has been reported [34] using 9 times more data structure of the observed states. from the Large Hadron Collider than the 2015 analysis. The The masses and widths of the three narrow pentaquark dataset was first analyzed in the same way as before and the states are as follows [34]: þ parameters of the previously reported Pc ð4450Þ and þ P ð4380Þ structures were consistent with the original þ þ6.8 c Pc ð4312Þ∶ M ¼ 4311.9 Æ 0.7−0 6 MeV; results.
