Analysis of the triply-charmed pentaquark states with QCD sum rules

Abstract In this article, we construct the scalar-diquark–scalar-diquark–antiquark type current to study the ground state triply-charmed pentaquark states with the QCD sum rules. We separate the contributions of the negative-parity and positive-parity triply-charmed pentaquark states explicitly, and take the energy scale formula $$\mu =\sqrt{M^2_{P}-(3{\mathbb {M}}_c)^2}$$ μ=MP2-(3Mc)2 to determine the optimal energy scales of the QCD spectral densities. The predicted pentaquark masses can be confronted to the experimental data in the future
