Revisiting the $DD^\ast$ chiral interactions with the local momentum-space regularization up to the third order and the nature of $T_{cc}^+$

We revisit the $DD^\ast$ interactions in chiral effective field theory up to the third order for the first time. We deal with the pion-exchanged interactions via local momentum-space regularization, in which we focus on their long-range behaviors through demanding their contributions vanish at the origin in the coordinate space. The short-range contact interactions and subleading pion-charmed meson couplings are estimated with the phenomenological resonance saturation model. The subleading pion-charmed meson couplings are much weaker than those in the pion-nucleon system, thus the $DD^\ast$ binding mechanism is very different with that of the $NN$ system. We also obtain the analytic structure of the two-pion exchange interactions in the coordinate space, and we find that its asymptotic behavior at long distance is similar to but slightly different with the $NN$ interactions. We get the same asymptotic behavior of the two-pion exchange interaction with that from HAL QCD method but appearing in the longer distance rather than $1 <r<2\text{ fm}$. The binding solution only exists in the isoscalar channel. Our calculation supports the molecular interpretation of $T_{cc}^+$.

Ground state baryons in the flux-tube three-body confinement model using Diffusion Monte Carlo

We make a systematical diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculation for all ground state baryons in two confinement scenarios, the pairwise confinement and the three-body flux-tube confinement. With the baryons as an example, we illustrate a feasible procedure to investigate the few-quark states with possible few-body confinement mechanisms, which can be extended to the multiquark states easily. For each baryon, we extract the mass, mean-square radius, charge radius, and the quark distributions. We use the Jackknife resampling method to estimate the statistical uncertainties of masses to be less than 1 MeV. To determine the baryon charge radii, we include the constituent quark size effect, which is fixed by the experimental and lattice QCD results. Our results show that both two-body and three-body confinement mechanisms can give a good description of the experimental data if the parameters are chosen properly. In the flux-tube confinement, introducing different tension parameters for the baryons and mesons are necessary, specifically, $σ_Y= 0.9204 σ_{Q\bar{Q}}$. The lesson from the calculation of the nucleon mass with the DMC method is that the improper pre-assignment of the channels may prevent us from obtaining the real ground state. With this experience, we obtain the real ground state (the $η_c η_c$ threshold with the di-meson configuration) of the $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ system with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ starting from the diquark-antidiquark spin-color channels alone, which is hard to achieve in the variational method and was not obtained in the previous DMC calculations.

The double thresholds distort the lineshapes of the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)^0$ resonance

Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported the first observation of the hidden charm pentaquark with strangeness, $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)^0$. Considering this state is very close to the $Ξ_c^0\bar{D}^0$ and $Ξ_c^+D^-$ thresholds, we explore the possible bias of the Breit-Wigner parameterization, with emphasis on the effect of its coupling to the double thresholds $Ξ_c^0\bar{D}^0$ and $Ξ_c^+D^-$. We first use a qualitative picture based on the ``uniformization" of the Riemann surface of the two-channel system to understand the positions of the enhancement. Then we use the Lippmann-Schwinger equation (LSE) formalism (equivalent to the $K$-matrix parameterization) with two models, the zero-range model and Flatté model to investigate the $J/ψΛ$ lineshapes. Our results show that the nominal peak of the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)^0$ could arise either from the pole well above the $Ξ_c^+ D^-$ threshold on the $(-,+)$ sheet or from the pole well below the $Ξ_c^0 \bar{D}^0$ threshold on the $(-,-)$ sheet in the two-channel system. Using the Breit-Wigner distribution to depict the above two lineshapes could be misleading. We also find a novel type of lineshapes with the enhancement constrained by the threshold difference. We urge the LHCb collaboration to perform the refined experimental analysis considering the unitarity and analyticity, e.g. using the K-matrix parameterization. As a by-product, we obtain that the ratio of the isospin violating decay ${Γ_{P_{ψs}^Λ\to J/ψΣ}}/{Γ_{P_{ψs}^Λ\to J/ψΛ}}$ could be up to $10\%$.

Molecular tetraquarks and pentaquarks in chiral effective field theory

We studied the $D\bar{D}^\ast/\bar{D}D^\ast$, $D^\ast\bar{D}^\ast$, $\bar{D}_s D^\ast/\bar{D}_s^\ast D$, $B\bar{B}^\ast/\bar{B}B^\ast$ and $B^\ast\bar{B}^\ast$ di-hadron interactions in chiral effective field theory ($χ$EFT) up to the next-to-leading (NLO) order. The above-threshold tetraquark states $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(4020)$, $Z_{cs}(3985)$, $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$ can be explained as the corresponding di-hadron resonances, respectively. We also studied the $Σ_c^{(\ast)}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ interactions to investigate the three hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. We further used the parameters fixed from the $P_c$ states to predict the possible molecular states in $Ξ_c\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$, $Ξ_c^\prime\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and $Ξ_c^\ast\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ systems. Our predictions of the $Ξ_c\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ bound states are very consistent with two new near-threshold structures recently observed by the LHCb Collaboration.

Multi-View Spatial-Temporal Network for Continuous Sign Language Recognition

Sign language is a beautiful visual language and is also the primary language used by speaking and hearing-impaired people. However, sign language has many complex expressions, which are difficult for the public to understand and master. Sign language recognition algorithms will significantly facilitate communication between hearing-impaired people and normal people. Traditional continuous sign language recognition often uses a sequence learning method based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM). These methods can only learn spatial and temporal features separately, which cannot learn the complex spatial-temporal features of sign language. LSTM is also difficult to learn long-term dependencies. To alleviate these problems, this paper proposes a multi-view spatial-temporal continuous sign language recognition network. The network consists of three parts. The first part is a Multi-View Spatial-Temporal Feature Extractor Network (MSTN), which can directly extract the spatial-temporal features of RGB and skeleton data; the second is a sign language encoder network based on Transformer, which can learn long-term dependencies; the third is a Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) decoder network, which is used to predict the whole meaning of the continuous sign language. Our algorithm is tested on two public sign language datasets SLR-100 and PHOENIX-Weather 2014T (RWTH). As a result, our method achieves excellent performance on both datasets. The word error rate on the SLR-100 dataset is 1.9%, and the word error rate on the RWTHPHOENIX-Weather dataset is 22.8%.

A Wearable ECG Monitor for Deep Learning Based Real-Time Cardiovascular Disease Detection

Cardiovascular disease has become one of the most significant threats endangering human life and health. Recently, Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring has been transformed into remote cardiac monitoring by Holter surveillance. However, the widely used Holter can bring a great deal of discomfort and inconvenience to the individuals who carry them. We developed a new wireless ECG patch in this work and applied a deep learning framework based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) models. However, we find that the models using the existing techniques are not able to differentiate two main heartbeat types (Supraventricular premature beat and Atrial fibrillation) in our newly obtained dataset, resulting in low accuracy of 58.0 %. We proposed a semi-supervised method to process the badly labelled data samples with using the confidence-level-based training. The experiment results conclude that the proposed method can approach an average accuracy of 90.2 %, i.e., 5.4 % higher than the accuracy of conventional ECG classification methods.

Two-particle scattering from finite-volume quantization conditions using the plane wave basis

We propose an alternative approach to Lüscher's formula for extracting two-body scattering phase shifts from finite volume spectra with no reliance on the partial wave expansion. We use an effective-field-theory-based Hamiltonian method in the plane wave basis and decompose the corresponding matrix elements of operators into irreducible representations of the relevant point groups. The proposed approach allows one to benefit from the knowledge of the long-range interaction and avoids complications from partial wave mixing in a finite volume. We consider spin-singlet channels in the two-nucleon system and pion-pion scattering in the $ρ$-meson channel in the rest and moving frames to illustrate the method for non-relativistic and relativistic systems, respectively. For the two-nucleon system, the long-range interaction due to the one-pion exchange is found to make the single-channel Lüscher formula unreliable at the physical pion mass. For S-wave dominated states, the single-channel Lüscher method suffers from significant finite-volume artifacts for a $L=3$~fm box, but it works well for boxes with $L>5$~fm. However, for P-wave dominated states, significant partial wave mixing effects prevent the application of the single-channel Lüscher formula regardless of the box size (except for the near-threshold region). Using a toy model to generate synthetic data for finite-volume energies, we show that our effective-field-theory-based approach in the plane wave basis is capable of a reliable extraction of the phase shifts. For pion-pion scattering, we employ a phenomenological model to fit lattice QCD results at the physical pion mass. The extracted P-wave phase shifts are found to be in a good agreement with the experimental results.

Revisit the isospin violating decays of $X(3872)$

In this work, we revisit the isospin violating decays of $X(3872)$ in a coupled-channel effective field theory. In the molecular scheme, the $X(3872)$ is interpreted as the bound state of $\bar{D}^{*0}D^0/\bar{D}^0D^{*0}$ and $D^{*-}D^+/D^-D^{*+}$ channels. In a cutoff-independent formalism, we relate the coupling constants of $X(3872)$ with the two channels to the molecular wave function. The isospin violating decays of $X(3872)$ are obtained by two equivalent approaches, which amend some deficiencies about this issue in literature. In the quantum field theory approach, the isospin violating decays arise from the coupling constants of $X(3872)$ to two di-meson channels. In the quantum mechanics approach, the isospin violating is attributed to wave functions at the origin. We illustrate that how to cure the insufficient results in literature. Within the comprehensive analysis, we bridge the isospin violating decays of $X(3872)$ to its inner structure. Our results show that the proportion of the neutral channel in $X(3872)$ is over $80\%$. As a by-product, we calculate the strong decay width of $X(3872)\to \bar{D}^0 D^0π^0$ and radiative one $X(3872)\to \bar{D}^0 D^0γ$. The strong decay width and radiative decay width are about 30 keV and 10 keV, respectively, for the binding energy from $-300$ keV to $-50$ keV.

Systematics of the heavy flavor hadronic molecules

With a quark level interaction, we give a unified description of the loosely bound molecular systems composed of the heavy flavor hadrons $(\bar{D},\bar{D}^*)$, $(Λ_c, Σ_c, Σ_c^*)$, and $(Ξ_c, Ξ_c^\prime,Ξ_c^*)$. Using the $P_c$ states as inputs to fix the interaction strength of light quark-quark pairs, we reproduce the observed $P_{cs}$ and $T_{cc}^+$ states and predict another narrow $T_{cc}^{\prime+}$ state with quantum numbers $[D^*D^*]_{J=1}^{I=0}$. If we require a satisfactory description of the $T_{cc}^+$ and $P_c$ states simultaneously, our framework prefers the assignments of the $P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$ as the $[Σ_c\bar{D}^*]_{J=1/2}^{I=1/2}$ and $[Σ_c\bar{D}^*]_{J=3/2}^{I=1/2}$ states, respectively. We propose the isospin criterion to explain naturally why the experimentally observed $T_{cc}$, $P_c$, and $P_{cs}$ molecular candidates prefer the lowest isospin numbers. We also predict the loosely bound states for the bottom di-hadrons.

Probing the long-range structure of the $T_{cc}^+$ with the strong and electromagnetic decays

Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported the doubly charmed tetraquark state $T_{cc}^+$ below the $D^{*+}D^0$ threshold about $273$ keV. As a very near-threshold state, its long-distance structure is very important. In the molecular scheme, we relate the coupling constants of $T_{cc}^+$ with $D^{*0}D^+$ and $D^{*+}D^0$ to its binding energy and mixing angle of two components with a coupled-channel effective field theory. With the coupling constants, we investigate the kinetically allowed strong decays $T_{cc}^+\to D^0D^0π^+$, $T_{cc}^+\to D^+D^0π^0$ and radiative decays $D^+D^0 γ$. Our results show that the decay width of $T_{cc}^+\to D^0D^0π^+$ is the largest one, which is just the experimental observation channel. Our theoretical total strong and radiative widths are in favor of the $T_{cc}^+$ as a $|D^{*+}D^0\rangle$ dominated bound state. The total strong and radiative width in the single channel limit and isospin singlet limit are given as $59.7^{+4.6}_{-4.4} \text{ keV}$ and $46.7^{+2.7}_{-2.9} \text{ keV}$, respectively. Our calculation is cutoff-independent and without prior isospin assignment. The absolute partial widths and ratios of the different decay channels can be used to test the structure of $T_{cc}^+$ state when the updated experimental results are available.

Higher fully-charmed tetraquarks: Radial excitations and P-wave states

We systematically calculate the mass spectrum of the higher excited fully-charmed tetraquark $cc\bar c\bar c$ states including the S-wave radial excitations and the P-wave states with a nonrelativistic quark model. The quark model is composed of a vector one-gluon-exchange (OGE) and a scalar linear confinement interaction with the parameters determined by the charmonium spectrum. In the calculation, we consider both the $3_c-\bar 3_c$ and the $6_c-\bar{6}_c$ color representations. For the $cc\bar c\bar c $ state, the $6_c-\bar 6_c$ component is located lower than the $\bar 3_c-3_c$ one because of the stronger attractive interactions between the diquark and antidiquark. We focus on two excited modes and their properties for the P-wave tetraquarks. The mass splitting for the $ρ$-mode excitations with different color configurations is large. The low-lying $6_c-\bar 6_c$ $ρ$-mode component helps to explain the small mass gap between the ground S-wave and the P-wave tetraquark states. The recently observed $X(6900)$ state may be the candidate of the first radially excited tetraquarks with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ or $2^{++}$, or the $1^{+-}$ or $2^{-+}$ P-wave states based on the mass spectrum. Moreover, the lowest $T_c$ states with the exotic $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers $0^{--}$ and $1^{-+}$ may decay into the P-wave $η_c J/ψ$ and di-$J/ψ$ modes, respectively. The future experimental search of these $T_c$ states will enrich the hadronic spectrum.

Implications of the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ and $Z_{cs}(4000)$ as two different states

Recently, the hidden charm tetraquark states $Z_{cs}(3985)$ and $Z_{cs}(4000)$ with strangeness were observed by the BESIII and LHCb collaborations, respectively, which are great breakthroughs for exploring exotic QCD structures. The first and foremost question is whether they are the same state. In this work, we explore the implications of the narrower state $Z_{cs}(3985)$ in BESIII and the wider one $Z_{cs}(4000)$ in LHCb as two different states. Within a solvable nonrelativistic effective field theory, we include the possible violations of heavy quark spin symmetry and SU(3) flavor symmetry in a comprehensive approach. If $Z_{cs}(3985)$ and $Z_{cs}(4000)$ are two different states, our results show that $Z_{cs}(4000)/Z_{cs}(3985)$ is the pure $(|\bar{D}_s^*D\rangle+/- |\bar{D}_sD^*\rangle)/\sqrt{2}$ state, and the SU(3) flavor partner of $Z_{c}(3900)$ is $Z_{cs}(4000)$ rather than the $Z_{cs}(3985)$. Another two important consequences are the existence of a tensor $\bar{D}_s^*D^*$ resonance with mass about 4126 MeV and width 13 MeV, and the suppression of the decay mode $Z_{cs}(3985) \to J/ψK$. The two consequences can be tested in experiments and distinguish the two-state interpretation from the one-state scheme.

Predicting the $\bar{D}_s^{(*)} D_s^{(*)}$ bound states as the partners of $X(3872)$

In this work, we investigate the SU(3) flavor symmetry, heavy quark spin symmetry and their breaking effects in the di-meson systems. We prove the existence of the $[\bar{D}_{s}^{*}D_{s}^{*}]^{0^{++}}$, $[\bar{D}_{s}^{*}D_{s}/\bar{D}_{s}^{}D_{s}^*]^{1^{+-}}$, and $[\bar{D}_{s}^{*}D_{s}^{*}]^{1^{+-}}$ bound states as the consequence of two prerequisites in the SU(3) flavor symmetry and heavy quark spin symmetry. The first prerequisite, the $X(3872)$ as the weakly $\bar{D}^{*}D/\bar{D} D^{*}$ bound state is supported by its mass and decay branching ratios. The second prerequisite, the existence of the $[\bar{D}_{s}D_{s}]^{0^{++}}$ bound state is supported by the lattice QCD calculation [arXiv:2011.02542(hep-lat)] and the observation of $χ_{c0}(3930)$ by the LHCb Collaboration[Phys.Rev.Lett.125,242001, Phys.Rev.D102,112003]. We hope the future experimental analyses can search for these bound states in the $B\to D_{(s)}^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}_{(s)}h$ processes ($h$ denotes the light hadrons). The $[\bar{D}_{s}^{*}D_{s}^{*}]^{0^{++}}$ bound state is also expected to be reconstructed in the $J/ψϕ$ final state in the $B\to J/ψϕK$ decay.

Decoding the nature of $Z_{cs}(3985)$ and establishing the spectrum of charged heavy quarkoniumlike states in chiral effective field theory

We study the newly observed charmoniumlike state $Z_{cs}(3985)$ in the framework of chiral effective field theory. The interaction kernel of the $\bar{D}_sD^\ast/\bar{D}^\ast_sD$ system is calculated up to the next-to-leading order with the explicit chiral dynamics. With the fitted parameters extracted from the $Z_c(3900)$ data as inputs, the mass, width and event distributions of the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ are very consistent with the experimental measurements. Our studies strongly support the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ as the partner of the $Z_c(3900)$ in the SU(3)$_f$ symmetry and the $\bar{D}_sD^\ast/\bar{D}^\ast_sD$ molecular resonance with the same dynamical origin as the other charged heavy quarkoniumlike states. We precisely predict the resonance parameters of the unobserved states in $\bar{D}_s^\ast D^\ast$, $B^\ast_s \bar{B}/B_s\bar{B}^\ast$ and $B_s^\ast\bar{B}^\ast$ systems, and establish a complete spectrum of the charged charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states with the $I(J^P)$ quantum numbers $1(1^+)$ and $\frac{1}{2}(1^+)$, respectively.

$Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ as the $U$-spin partner of $Z_c(3900)^-$ and implication of other states in the $\text{SU(3)}_F$ symmetry and heavy quark symmetry

Recently, for the first time, the BESIII Collaboration reported the strange hidden charm tetraquark states $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ in the $K^+$ recoil-mass spectrum near the $D_{s}^{-}D^{*0}/ D_{s}^{*-}D^{0}$ mass thresholds in the processes of $e^{+}e^{-}\to K^{+}(D_{s}^{-}D^{*0}+D_{s}^{*-}D^{0})$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.681$ GeV. The significance was estimated to be 5.3 $σ$. We show that the newly observed $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ state is the $U$-spin partner of $Z_c(3900)^{-}$ as a resonance within coupled-channel calculation in the $\text{SU(3)}_F$ symmetry and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS). In the $\text{SU(3)}_F$ symmetry, we introduce the $G_{U/V}$ parity to construct the flavor wave functions of the $Z_{cs}$ states. In a unified framework, we consider the $J/ψπ(K)$, $\bar{D}_{(s)}{D}^*/\bar{D}_{(s)}^*{D}$ coupled-channel effect with the contact interaction. With the masses and widths of $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$, we determine all the unknown coupling constants. We obtain mass and width of $Z_{cs}(3985)$ in good agreement with the experimental results, which strongly supports the $Z_{cs}$ states as the $U/V$-spin partner states of the charged $Z_c(3900)$. We also calculate the ratio of the partial decay widths of $Z_{cs}(3985)$, which implies that the $\bar{D}_sD^*/\bar{D}^*_s D$ decay modes are dominant. We also predict the $Z_{cs}^\prime$ states with a mass around $4130$ MeV and width around $30$ MeV, which are the $U/V$-spin partner states of the charged $Z_c(4020)$ and HQSS partner states of the $Z_{cs}(3985)$. In the hidden bottom sector, we predict the strange tetraquark states $Z_{bs}$ and $Z_{bs}^\prime$ with a mass around 10700 MeV and 10750 MeV, which are the $U/V$-spin partner states of $Z_{b}(10610)^{\pm}$ and $Z_b(10650)^{\pm}$, respectively.

Mass spectrum and strong decays of tetraquark $\bar c\bar s qq$ states

We systematically study the mass spectrum and strong decays of the S-wave $\bar c\bar s q q$ states in the compact tetraquark scenario with the quark model. The key ingredients of the model are the Coulomb, the linear confinement, and the hyperfine interactions. The hyperfine potential leads to the mixing between different color configurations, as well as the large mass splitting between the two ground states with $I(J^P)=0(0^+)$ and $I(J^P)=1(0^+)$. We calculate their strong decay amplitudes into the $\bar D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ channels with the wave functions from the mass spectrum calculation and the quark interchange method. We examine the interpretation of the recently observed $X_0(2900)$ as a tetraquark state. The mass and decay width of the $I(J^P)=1(0^+)$ state are $M=2941$ MeV and $Γ_X=26.6$ MeV, respectively, which indicates that it might be a good candidate for the $X_0(2900)$. Meanwhile, we also obtain an isospin partner state $I(J^P)=0(0^+)$ with $M=2649$ MeV and $Γ_{X\rightarrow \bar D K}=48.1$ MeV, respectively. Future experimental search for $X(2649)$ will be very helpful.

Deciphering the charged heavy quarkoniumlike states in chiral effective field theory

We generalize the framework of chiral effective field theory to study the interactions of the isovector $D^\ast\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and $B^\ast\bar{B}^{(\ast)}$ systems up to the next-to-leading order, in which the long-, mid-, and short-range force contributions as well as the $S$-$D$ wave mixing are incorporated. Based on the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, we fit the invariant mass distributions of the elastic channels measured by the BESIII and Belle Collaborations. Our results indicate that the four charged charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(4020)$ and $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$ can be well identified as the $D\bar{D}^{\ast},D^\ast\bar{D}^{\ast}$ and $B\bar{B}^{\ast},B^\ast\bar{B}^{\ast}$ molecular resonances. The bound state explanations are vetoed in our framework. Our study favors the $Z_c$ and $Z_b$ states are the twin partners under the heavy quark symmetry.

$D^{(\ast)}N$ interaction and the structure of $Σ_c(2800)$ and $Λ_c(2940)$ in chiral effective field theory

We study the $DN$ and $D^\ast N$ interactions to probe the inner structure of $Σ_c(2800)$ and $Λ_c(2940)$ with the chiral effective field theory to the next-to-leading order. We consider the contact term, one-pion-exchange and two-pion-exchange contributions to characterize the short-, long- and mid-range interactions of the $D^{(\ast)}N$ systems. The low energy constants of the $D^{(\ast)}N$ systems are related to those of the $N\bar{N}$ interaction with quark level Lagrangian that inspired by the resonance saturation model. The $Δ(1232)$ degree of freedom is also included in the loop diagrams. The attractive potential in the $[DN]_{J=1/2}^{I=1}$ channel is too weak to form bound state, which indicates the explanation of $Σ_c(2800)$ as the compact charmed baryon is more reasonable. Meanwhile, the potentials of the isoscalar channels are deep enough to yield the molecular states. We obtain the masses of the $[DN]_{J=1/2}^{I=0}$, $[D^\ast N]_{J=1/2}^{I=0}$ and $[D^\ast N]_{J=3/2}^{I=0}$ systems to be $2792.0$ MeV, $2943.6$ MeV and $2938.4$ MeV, respectively. The $Λ_c(2940)$ is probably the isoscalar $D^\ast N$ molecule considering its low mass puzzle. Besides, the $Λ_c(2940)$ signal might contain the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ and spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ two structures, which can qualitatively explain the significant decay ratio to $D^0p$ and $Σ_cπ$. We also study the $\bar{B}^{(\ast)}N$ systems and predict the possible molecular states in the isoscalar channels. We hope experimentalists could hunt for the open charmed molecular pentaquarks in the $Λ_c^+π^+π^-$ final state.
