Probing new types of $P_c$ states inspired by the interaction between an $S$-wave charmed baryon and an anticharmed meson in a $\bar T$ doublet state

Abstract

Inspired by the observations of three $P_c$ states, we systematically investigate interactions between an $S$-wave charmed baryon $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}=\Lambda_c/\Sigma_c/\Sigma_c^{*}$ and an anticharmed meson $\bar T=\bar D_1/\bar D_2^*$ with the one-pion-exchange potential model and the one-boson-exchange potential model, and search for possible new types of $P_c$ states with the structures of $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}\bar T$. Both $S$-$D$ wave mixing and coupled channel effects are considered. Our results suggest that in some $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}\bar T$ systems there are ideal candidates of new types of $P_c$ states, i.e., the $\Sigma_c\bar{D}_1$ state with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^+)$, the $\Sigma_c\bar{D}_2^*$ state with $I(J^P)=1/2(3/2^+)$, the $\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}_1$ state with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^+)$, and the $\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}_2^*$ states with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^+, 3/2^+)$, and we suggest that these predicted new types of $P_c$ states can be detected in the process $\Lambda_b^0 \to \psi(2S) p \pi^{-}$. Meanwhile, we also extend our study to the interactions between an $S$-wave charmed baryon and a charmed meson in a $T$ doublet, and we predict a series of double-charm molecular pentaquarks.
