Abstract

The diquark-triquark model is used to explain charmonium-pentaquark states, i.e., and , which were observed recently by the LHCb collaboration. For the first time, we investigate the properties of the color attractive configuration of a triquark and we define a nonlocal light cone distribution amplitude for pentaquark states, where both diquark and triquark are not pointlike, but they have nonzero size. We establish an effective diquark-triquark Hamiltonian based on spin-orbital interaction. According to the Hamiltonian, we show that the minimum mass splitting between and is around ~MeV, which may naturally solve the challenging problem of small mass splitting between and . This helps to understand the peculiarities of with a broad decay width whereas has a narrow decay width. Based on the diquark-triquark model, we predict more pentaquark states, which will hopefully be measured in future experiments.
