This paper extends the study of hidden-flavor pentaquarks beyond charm to other flavors, providing theoretical predictions and comparisons to experimental data to help differentiate models of multiquark systems.

Contribution

It introduces a unified framework for analyzing hidden-flavor pentaquarks across different flavors, expanding on previous charm-focused work.

Findings

Pattern matches experimental data for hidden-charm pentaquarks

Predictions for other flavor sectors align with some experimental observations

Comparison with literature highlights differences in multiquark dynamics models

Abstract

We have recently studied hidden-charm pentaquarks, $c\bar c qqq$, using dynamical correlations between the heavy quarks arising from the Coulomb-like nature of the short-range interaction. A pattern was obtained that compares well with the experimental data. We extend our description to other flavor sectors which can be framed within the same type of structures discussed in the original paper. A detailed comparison is made with other results in the literature and with experimental data. Predictions will be a useful tool to discriminate between different models of multiquark system dynamics.
