Magnetic moments and transition magnetic moments of $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ states

Abstract

We study the magnetic moments and transition magnetic moments of $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ states in the molecular picture. We first revisit the magnetic moments of $P_c$ states as the $S$ wave molecular states without coupled channel effects. The coupled channel effects and the $D$ wave contributions are then investigated carefully. The coupled channel effects contribute to the change of $0.1\sim 0.4$ nuclear magneton ${\mu }_N$ for most cases while the $D$ wave only induces the variation of less than $0.03{\mu }_N$. In addition, we obtain the transition magnetic moments between different $P_c$ states and the related electromagnetic decay widths of $P_c^{\prime }\to P_c\gamma$. The magnetic moments of $P_{cs}$ are much different for the assumption of spin being 1/2 and 3/2. The study of electromagnetic properties will help us disclose further the structure of these unconventional states.
