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.

Introduces a hybrid loop function in Bethe-Salpeter unitarization within the local hidden gauge approach to generate hidden-charm pentaquarks, reproducing six known states and predicting new ones in the S=-1, I=1 sector.
A radius-dependent chromoelectric interaction in the MIT bag model predicts that the state T_ncs̄n̄(0+, 2.925) is a compact tetraquark candidate corresponding to the experimentally observed T_c̄s0^a(2900).
The M1 radiative decay width Pc(4457)(3/2-) → Pc(4312)(1/2-)γ is computed as 6.7 keV (range 2-9 keV) via 19 triangle loops with photon coupling to molecular components.
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.
Extends baryo-charmonium picture to c cbar ssq pentaquarks, predicting two negative-parity triplets with lowest kaon-associated state near 4.60 GeV and a near-degenerate doublet for upper kaon states.
The u-channel Lambda_c exchange enhances rescattering via Dbar(*) Sigma_c states in the piN to J/psiN reaction, producing clear peaks for Pc(4312) (1/2^-) and Pc(4457) (3/2^-) at microbarn cross sections while suppressing other states.
A multimodal, uncertainty-quantified set of leading-power fragmentation functions for all-charm pentaquarks is constructed and applied to NLL/NLO+ pentaquark-plus-jet production at future hadron colliders.
A quark-diquark formalism extracts effective masses and couplings from known heavy baryon data to predict spectra across singly, doubly, and triply heavy sectors with two scenarios and a mass-dependent binding term.
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.
