Prediction of five-flavored pentaquarks

Abstract: We analyze the possibility of the existence of a fully exotic pentaquark state

, which is made from the five different flavors participarting in the strong interactions. We investigate the coupled channel effects of the

B^{(*)} X i_{c} - B^{(*)} X i_{c}^{p} r i m e

system through

t

-channel vector meson exchange to search for such states. A

B X i_{c}

and a

B X i_{c}^{p} r i m e

bound state are found to have binding energies of about

10 - 30

~MeV with

B_{s} L a m b d a_{c}

and

B_{c} L a m b d a

being the possible decay channels. Similarly, a bound state is formed in the

B^{*} X i_{c}

and

B^{*} X i_{c}^{p} r i m e

channels, respectively. These states could be searched for through the

p p o B_{c} L a m b d a X

or

p p o B_{s}^{(*)} L a m b d a_{c} X

processes by the LHCb collaboration.
