Analysis of Fully Heavy $P_{(3c2b)}$ and $P_{(3b2c)}$ Pentaquark Candidates

K. Azizi, Y. Sarac, H. Sundu

Abstract

Recent progress in experimental facilities, together with larger data samples and more refined analysis strategies has enabled the observation of many exotic hadronic states, adding new members to the hadron spectrum. Each newly reported signal encourages further experimental searches and simultaneously motivates theoretical studies aimed at uncovering additional nonconventional states. Motivated by this perspective and by the increasing interest in systems containing multiple heavy quarks, we present a spectroscopic study of fully heavy pentaquark candidates with spin-parity quantum numbers $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and quark contents $QQQ'Q\bar{Q'}$, $QQQ'Q'\bar{Q}$, and $Q'Q'QQ\bar{Q}$, where $Q(Q')$ represents either $c(b)$ or $b(c)$ quarks. We employ the QCD sum rule approach with three different types of interpolating currents to obtain the corresponding masses and current coupling constants of the considered states. The following masses for the states containing three $c$ and two $b$ quarks are predicted: $m_{(3c2b)}=14479.30\pm75.06~\mathrm{MeV}$ using the current $J_1$, $\tilde{m}_{(3c2b)}=14276.80\pm76.29~\mathrm{MeV}$ using $J_2$, and $\bar{m}_{(3c2b)}=14276.80\pm76.29~\mathrm{MeV}$ using $J_3$. The corresponding predictions for the states containing three $b$ and two $c$ quarks are as $m_{(3b2c)}=17458.90\pm130.11~\mathrm{MeV}$ with $J_1$, $\tilde{m}_{(3b2c)}=17202.70\pm132.37~\mathrm{MeV}$ with $J_2$, and $\bar{m}_{(3b2c)}=17250.80\pm131.98~\mathrm{MeV}$ with $J_3$, respectively. In addition, we provide the corresponding current coupling constants, which can serve as useful inputs for analyses of decay properties and interaction mechanisms of these fully heavy pentaquark candidates.

Abstract

Recent progress in experimental facilities, together with larger data samples and more refined analysis strategies has enabled the observation of many exotic hadronic states, adding new members to the hadron spectrum. Each newly reported signal encourages further experimental searches and simultaneously motivates theoretical studies aimed at uncovering additional nonconventional states. Motivated by this perspective and by the increasing interest in systems containing multiple heavy quarks, we present a spectroscopic study of fully heavy pentaquark candidates with spin-parity quantum numbers and quark contents , , and , where represents either or quarks. We employ the QCD sum rule approach with three different types of interpolating currents to obtain the corresponding masses and current coupling constants of the considered states. The following masses for the states containing three and two quarks are predicted: using the current , using , and using . The corresponding predictions for the states containing three and two quarks are as with , with , and with , respectively. In addition, we provide the corresponding current coupling constants, which can serve as useful inputs for analyses of decay properties and interaction mechanisms of these fully heavy pentaquark candidates.
