Is the LHCb $P_c(4312)^+$ plausible in the GlueX $gamma p o J/psi p$ total cross sections ?

ORAL

Abstract

New high-statistics total cross section data for $gamma p o J/psi p$ from the GLUonic EXcitation (GlueX) experiment are fitted in a search for the exotic $P_c(4312)^+$ state observed by the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) collaboration. The integrated luminosity of this GlueX experiment was about $320~mathrm{pb^{-1}}$. The fits show that destructive interference involving an $S$-wave resonance and associated non-resonance background produces a sharp dip structure about $75~mathrm{MeV}$ below the LHCb mass, in the same location as a similar structure is seen in the data. Limitations of the employed model and the need for improved statistics are discussed.
