The observed charmed hadron Λc(2940)+\Lambda_c(2940)^+ and the D∗ND^*N interaction

In this work, we systematically study the interaction of $D^*$ and nucleon, which is stimulated by the observation of $\Lambda_c(2940)^+$ close to the threshold of $D^*p$. Our numerical result obtained by the dynamical investigation indicates the existence of the $D^*N$ systems with $J^P=1/2^\pm,\,3/2^\pm$, which not only provides valuable information to understand the underlying structure of $\Lambda_c(2940)^+$ but also improves our knowledge of the interaction of $D^*$ and nucleon. Additionally, the bottom partners of the $D^*N$ systems are predicted, which might be as one of the tasks in LHCb experiment.Comment: 8 pages, 6 Figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

A novel explanation of charmonium-like structure in e+e−→ψ(2S)π+π−e^+e^-\to \psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^-

We first present a non-resonant description to charmonium-like structure $Y(4360)$ in the $\psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum of the $e^+e^-\to \psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ process. The $Y(4360)$ structure is depicted well by the interference effect of the production amplitudes of $e^{+} e^{-} \to \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ via the intermediate charmonia $\psi(4160)/\psi(4415)$ and direct $e^+e^-$ annihilation into $\psi(2S)\pi^+ \pi^-$. This fact shows that $Y(4360)$ is not a genuine resonance, which naturally explains why $Y(4360)$ was only reported in its hidden-charm decay channel $\psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ and was not observed in the exclusive open-charm decay channel or $R$-value scan.Comment: 4 pages, 1 table, 2 figures.

Prediction of a missing higher charmonium around 4.26 GeV in J/ψJ/\psi family

Inspired by the similarity of mass gaps of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ families, the prediction of missing higher charmonium with mass $4263$ MeV and very narrow width is made. In addition, the properties of two charmonium-like states, $X(3940)$ and $X(4160)$, and charmonium $\psi(4415)$ are discussed. Here, $X(3940)$ as $\eta_c(3S)$ is established while the explanation of $X(4160)$ to be $\eta_c(4S)$ is fully excluded and $\eta_c(4S)$ is typically a very narrow state. These predictions can be accessible at BESIII, Belle and BelleII in near future.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures and 1 table. More discussions added. Accepted by Eur. Phys. J.
