Abstract
We investigate the possible existence of triple-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states in the off-shell coupled-channel formalism. The open-charm meson-baryon , , , and channels are considered, together with the hidden-charm channel. The two-body kernel Feynman amplitudes are constructed from an effective Lagrangian based on hidden local symmetry and heavy-quark spin symmetry. The coupled Blankenbecler-Sugar equation is solved in the partial-wave helicity basis. We observe two triple-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states: and , both with . The couples dominantly to the and channels, while the couples almost exclusively to the channel. The total transition cross sections of indicate that the is clearly visible in the invariant mass spectrum, whereas the is obscured by cusp structures and background contributions.
