    The lattice QCD simulation of NJ/ψ and Nηc scattering is performed at mπ 266 MeV in channels with all possible JP. This includes JP=3/2± and 5/2± where LHCb discovered Pc(4380) and Pc(4450) pentaquark states in proton-J/ψ decay. This is the first lattice simulation that reaches the energies 4.3–4.5 GeV where pentaquarks reside. Several decay channels are open in this energy region, and we explore the fate of Pc in the one-channel approximation in this work. Energies of eigenstates are extracted for the nucleon-charmonium system at zero total momentum for all quantum numbers, i.e., six lattice irreducible representations. No significant energy shifts are observed. The number of the observed lattice eigenstates agrees with the number expected for noninteracting charmonium and nucleon. Thus, we do not find any strong indication for a resonance or a bound state in these exotic channels within one-channel approximation. This possibly indicates that the coupling of the NJ/ψ channel with other two-hadron channels might be responsible for Pc resonances in experiment. One of the challenges of this study is that up to six degenerate J/ψ(p)N(−p) eigenstates are expected in the noninteracting limit due nonzero spins of J/ψ and N, and we establish all of them in the spectra.
