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 D¯sΩc, D¯sΩc*, D¯s*Ωc, and D¯s*Ωc* channels are considered, together with the hidden-charm J/ψΩ 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: Pcc¯sss(4787) and Pcc¯sss(4841), both with JP=1/2−. The Pcc¯sss(4787) couples dominantly to the D¯s*Ωc and D¯s*Ωc* channels, while the Pcc¯sss(4841) couples almost exclusively to the D¯s*Ωc* channel. The total transition cross sections of D¯s(*)Ωc(*)→J/ψΩ indicate that the Pcc¯sss(4787) is clearly visible in the J/ψΩ invariant mass spectrum, whereas the Pcc¯sss(4841) is obscured by cusp structures and background contributions.
