Title: Studying the $$P_c(4450)$$ Resonance in $$J/\psi $$ Photoproduction Off Protons

Abstract

Here, the LHCb has reported the observation of a resonancelike structure, the $$P_c(4450)$$, in the $$J/\psi $$ p invariant masses. In our work, we discuss the feasibility of detecting this structure in $$J/\psi $$ photoproduction, e.g. in the measurements that have been approved for the experiments in Hall A/C and in Hall B with CLAS12 at JLab. Also the GlueX Collaboration has already reported preliminary results. We take into account the experimental resolution effects, and perform a global fit to world J/psi photoproduction data in order to study the possibility of observing the $$P_c(4450)$$ signal in future JLab data. We present a first estimate of the upper limit for the branching ratio of the $$P_c(4450)$$ into the $$J/\psi $$ p channel, and we study the angular distributions of the differential cross sections. This will shed light on the nature and couplings of the $$P_c(4450)$$ structure in the future photoproduction experiments.
