abstract
New LHCb Collaboration results on pentaquarks with hidden charm [1] are discussed. These results fit nicely in the hadrocharmonium pentaquark scenario [2,3]. In the new data the old LHCb pentaquark $P_c(4450)$ splits into two states $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. We interpret these two almost degenerate hadrocharmonium states with $J^P=1/2^-$ and $J^P=3/2^-$ as a result of hyperfine splitting between hadrocharmonium states predicted in [2]. It arises due to QCD multipole interaction between color-singlet hadrocharmonium constituents. We improve the theoretical estimate of hyperfine splitting [2,3] that is compatible with the experimental data. The new $P_c(4312)$ state finds a natural explanation as a bound state of $\chi_{c0}$ and a nucleon, with $I=1/2$, $J^P=1/2^+$ and binding energy 42 MeV. As a bound state of a spin-zero meson and a nucleon, hadrocharmonium pentaquark $P_c(4312)$ does not experience hyperfine splitting. We find a series of hadrocharmonium states in the vicinity of the wide $P_c(4380)$ pentaquark that can explain its apparently large decay width. We compare the hadrocharmonium and molecular pentaquark scenarios and discuss their relative advantages and drawbacks.

Molecular Interpretation of the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ States
The paper predicts Pc(4440) has J^P = 3/2- and Pc(4457) has J^P = 1/2+ in a pion-exchange coupled-channel model without short-range terms.

Strong decays of the latest LHCb pentaquark candidates in hadronic molecule pictures
Treating Pc(4312), Pc(4440) and Pc(4457) as S-wave hadronic molecules, this paper computes decay widths and argues that spins 1/2^-, 1/2^- and 3/2^- respectively fit the measured widths.
