The study of the singly anti-charmed pentaquark production in b-factory

The b-factories, such as BelleII, BarBar and LHCb, emphasize the increasing importance of exotic hadron research. In this paper, we discuss the possible production of singly anti-charmed pentaquark states c̄q qqq from B mesons in the b-factory under SU(3) symmetry analysis. Discussions of both possibilities have been driven by the hypothesis that the pentaquark state considered in this work, known as the lowest lying state Pc, could be bound or unbound. We find the golden channels for the production of {red}{the pentaquark ground states, such as B⁰ → Pc̄sudu() 0Σ⁰}. We further estimate the branching ratios for the production of the ground states Pc from B meson decays. Thus, multiple channels are available for experiments, which may remove certain obstacles to the discovery of new pentaquark states.
