Hidden-charm pentaquark formation in antiproton - deuterium collisions

Abstract

The possibility of observing formation of hidden-charm pentaquarks as $s$-channel resonances in antiproton - deuteron collisions is discussed. It is pointed out that the masses of the reported by LHCb pentaquark resonances in the $J/\psi p$ channel are very close to a special value of the mass at which formation of a pentaquark by antiproton incident on a deuteron at rest requires exactly the same momentum of the $\bar{p}$ as needed for the formation in the $s$ channel of the charmonium resonance in $\bar{p}p$ collisions with the proton being at rest. For this reason the former process can be rather completely described within the notion of the deuteron being a shallow bound state of two nucleons without resorting to models describing its short-distance structure. It is argued that a similar kinematical coincidence can be expected for (yet) hypothetical pentaquark resonances in the ${\eta }_{c}N$ channel, and that these can be sought for once antiproton - deuterium collisions become available for experimentation.
