Partial decay widths of $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$ into $J/\psi p$ in a molecular scenario

In the present work, we assign the newly observed $P_c(4312)$ as a $I(J^P)= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2})^-$ molecular state composed of $\Sigma_c \bar{D}$, while $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as $\Sigma_c \bar{D}^\ast$ molecular states with $I(J^P)= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2})^-$ and $\frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{2})^-$, respectively. In this molecular scenario, we investigate the $J/\psi p$ decay mode of these three states. We find that the partial widths are consistent with the reported total decay widths within uncertainties. Moreover, we predict the ratios of the partial decay width of the $J/\psi p$ mode for these three states, which could serve as a crucial test of the present molecular scenario.
