Description
The discovery of the pentaquark candidate in the amplitude analysis of Lb -> J/psi p K decays in 2015 has ignited an interest in heavy hadron spectroscopy at the LHCb experiment. This has lead to further discoveries of more pentaquark candidates at the LHCb experiment, notably in Bs -> J/psi p pbar and B -> J/psi Lambda p decays. A majority of these experimental discoveries rely heavily on amplitude analyses to study the properties and confirm the existence of pentaquark candidates. This talk would present the latest update from the LHCb experiment on heavy hadron spectroscopy of pentaquark candidates, with a focus on challenges encountered by the ongoing amplitude analysis of Lb -> J/psi p K with the full LHCb Run 1 + 2 dataset.
