Ab initio calculation of molecular pentaquark magnetic moments in heavy pentaquark chiral perturbation theory

Abstract

We propose a new heavy pentaquark chiral perturbation theory for the recently observed hidden-charm pentaquark states by LHCb Collaboration. With the ab initio constructed chiral Lagrangians, we present a parameter-free calculation of the octet molecular pentaquark magnetic moments up to one-loop level. We improve the quark model description of the data when we include the leading SU(3) breaking effects coming from the one-loop corrections. Without any experimental inputs, our predictions are so simple and unique that we regard them as a theoretical benchmark to be compared with experiments as well as other theoretical models.
