Abstract: (APS)
We perform a theoretical analysis of the Λb→J/ψK-p reaction from where a recent LHCb experiment extracts a Λ(1405) contribution in the K-p spectrum close to threshold and two baryon states of hidden charm in the J/ψp spectrum. We recall that baryon states of this type have been theoretically predicted matching the mass, width and JP of the experiment; concretely some states built up from the J/ψN, D¯*Λc, D¯*Σc, D¯Σc* and D¯*Σc* coupled channels. We assume that the observed narrow state around 4450 MeV has this nature and we are able to describe simultaneously the shapes and relative strength of the the K-p mass distribution close to threshold and the peak of the J/ψp distribution, with values of the J/ψp coupling to the resonance in line with the theoretical ones. The nontrivial matching of many properties gives support to a JP=3/2- assignment to this state and to its nature as a molecular state mostly made of D¯*Σc and D¯*Σc*.Note:
