Abstract

The pentaquark recently discovered by LHCb has been interpreted as a bound state of and nucleon. The charmonium-nucleon interaction which provides the binding mechanism is given, in the heavy quark limit, in terms of charmonium chromoelectric polarizabilities and densities of the nucleon energy-momentum tensor (EMT). In this work we show in model-independent way, by exploring general properties of the effective interaction, that can form bound states with nucleon and . Using the Skyrme model to evaluate the effective interaction in the large- limit and estimate corrections, we confirm the results from prior work which were based on a different effective model (chiral quark soliton model). This shows that the interpretation of is remarkably robust and weakly dependent on the details of the effective theories for the nucleon EMT. We explore the formalism further and present robust predictions of isospin bound states of and with masses around and widths around . The approach also predicts broader resonances in the - channel at with widths of the order of . We discuss in which reactions these new isospin pentaquarks with hidden charm can be observed.
