A hidden-charm pentaquark state in $\Lambda^0_b \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ decay
We study here the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ reaction in analogy to the $\Lambda^0_b \to J/\psi p K^-$ one, and we note that in both decays there is a sharp structure (dip or peak) in the $J/\psi p$ mass distribution around $4450$ MeV, which is associated in the $\Lambda^0_b \to J/\psi p K^-$ experiment to an exotic pentaquark baryonic state, although in $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ it shows up with relatively low statistics. We analyze the $\Lambda^0_b \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ interaction along the same lines as the $\Lambda^0_b \to J/\psi p K^-$ one, with the main difference stemming from the reduced Cabibbo strength in the former and the consideration of the $\pi^-p$ final state int…
Predictions for pentaquark states of hidden charm molecular nature and comparison with experiment
Predictions for hidden charm molecules, with and without strangeness, were made prior to the LHCb experiment. We discuss these issues and how these states can be observed in the reactions, Λ b → J / ψK − p , Λ b → J / ψη Λ, Λ b → J / ψπ − p , Λ b → J / ψK 0 Λ and Ξ − b → J / ψK − Λ by looking at the invariant mass distributions for J / ψp or J / ψ Λ.
Study of reactions disclosing hidden charm pentaquarks with or without strangeness
We present results for five reactions, Lambda(b) -> J/psi K(-)p, Lambda(b) -> J/psi eta Lambda, Lambda(b) -> J/psi pi(-)p, Lambda(b) -> J/psi K-0 Lambda and Xi(-)(b) -> J/psi K-Lambda, where combining information from the meson baryon interaction, using the chiral unitary approach, and predictions made for molecular states of hidden charm, with or without strangeness, we can evaluate invariant mass distributions for the light meson baryon states, and for those of J/psi p or J/psi Lambda. We show that with the present available information, in all of these reactions one finds peaks where the pentaquark states show up. In the Lambda(b) -> J/psi K(-)p, and Lambda(b) -> J/psi pi(-)p reactions w…
Hidden-charm pentaquark state inΛb0→J/ψpπ−decay
We study here the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}p{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ reaction in analogy to the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ one, and we note that in both decays there is a sharp structure (dip or peak) in the $J/\ensuremath{\psi}p$ mass distribution around 4450 MeV, which is associated in the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ experiment to an exotic pentaquark baryonic state, although in ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}_{b}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}p{\en…
