abstract

An amplitude analysis of $B^-\to J/\psi\Lambda\bar{p}$ decays is performed using about 4400 signal candidates selected on a data sample of $pp$ collisions recorded at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. A narrow resonance in the $J/\psi\Lambda$ system, consistent with a pentaquark candidate with strangeness, is observed with high significance. The mass and the width of this new state are measured to be $4338.2\pm 0.7\pm 0.4$MeV and ${7.0\pm1.2\pm1.3}$MeV, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The spin is determined to be $1/2$ and negative parity is preferred. Due to the small $Q$-value of the reaction, the most precise single measurement of the $B^-$ mass to date, $5279.44\pm0.05\pm0.07$MeV, is obtained.

Fully-heavy multiquarks in neural-network quantum states

hep-ph · 2026-06-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Neural-network quantum states are used to compute spectra of fully-heavy multiquarks in a non-relativistic quark model, claiming to overcome dimensionality issues with superior accuracy over prior approximations.

Comprehensive Mass Predictions: From Triply Heavy Baryons to Pentaquarks

hep-ph · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Machine learning models trained on known hadron data and an extended Gürsey-Radicati mass formula predict masses for triply heavy baryons and numerous pentaquark states, agreeing with available data and forecasting unobserved states.
