The -coupled-channel system in the hidden-gauge approach

arXiv:2603.28649

Abstract

In this work we provide predictions for bottom-strange molecular states within the Hidden Gauge Formalism. We study the coupled-channel scattering of states and, by fixing only one free parameter to obtain the mass of a new excited state seen by the LHCb, we predict the pole parameters of six states in this sector. Concretely, we get that the masses of the flavor partners of the and states in the bottom sector are and MeV for the () and () states, respectively. Moreover, the recently seen states by the LHCb with masses around and MeV can be interpreted as and molecular states, according to reasonable values of the pole parameters and the splitting between these two states obtained in our calculation.
