    Some Predictions of Diquark Model for Hidden Charm Pentaquark Discovered at the LHCb

    The LHCb has discovered two new states with preferred JPJ^P quantum numbers 3/2βˆ’3/2^- and 5/2+5/2^+ from Ξ›b\Lambda_b decays. These new states can be interpreted as hidden charm pentaquarks. It has been argued that the main features of these pentaquarks can be described by diquark model. The diquark model predicts that the 3/2βˆ’3/2^- and 5/2+5/2^+ are in two separate octet multiplets of flavor SU(3)SU(3) and there is also an additional decuplet pentaquark multiplet. Finding the states in these multiplets can provide crucial evidence for this model. The weak decays of b-baryon to a light meson and a pentaquark can have Cabibbo allowed and suppressed decay channels. We find that in the SU(3)SU(3) limit, for UU-spin related decay modes the ratio of the decay rates of Cabibbo suppressed to Cabibbo allowed decay channels is given by ∣Vcd∣2/∣Vcs∣2|V_{cd}|^2/|V_{cs}|^2. There are also other testable relations for b-baryon weak decays into a pentaquark and a light pseudoscalar. These relations can be used as tests for the diquark model for pentaquark.Comment: revtex, 19 pages, 3 figures. one reference added and some typos correcte
