Investigation of a candidate spin-1/2 hidden-charm triple strange pentaquark state Pcsss

Abstract

A candidate triple strange pentaquark state, P-csss, is investigated through its strong decay channel P-csss -> C2-J=y/. To calculate the relevant strong coupling constants, two possible interpolating currents with spin-parity JP 1/4 1 - are used. Though the chosen currents for the state under consideration have spin-parity quantum numbers JP 1/4 1 -, they couple to both the positive and negative parity states simultaneously and the corresponding decay widths are obtained for both parities. These widths are obtained as foP(csss) -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 201.4 82.5 MeV for the negative and fo P similar to csss -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 316.4 107.8 MeV for the positive parity state when the first current is used. For the second current, we obtain foP(csss) -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 252.5 116.7 MeV for the negative and fo P similar to csss -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 361.1 ; 98.4 MeV for the positive parity state. These results may provide insights into future experimental observations of such candidate states and help to distinguish and fix their properties.
