Abstract

The possible bound state of the ccˉ+n+10c\bar{c}+n+^{10}Be system, representing a hypothetical charmonium-nucleus configuration, is investigated. The analysis is conducted within a three-cluster framework, in which the binary subsystems are treated as n+10Ben+^{10}\textrm{Be}, 10Be+ccˉ^{10}\textrm{Be}+c\bar{c}, and ccˉ+nc\bar{c}+n. The hyperspherical harmonics method is employed to provide a convenient description of this three-cluster configuration. The calculations are performed using effective 10Be-ccˉ^{10}\textrm{Be}\textrm{-}c\bar{c} potentials constructed via the single-folding procedure. These potentials have been derived recently on the basis of state-of-the-art lattice QCD results from the HAL QCD Collaboration, which provided interactions for the spin-3/23/2 J/ψNJ/\psi N, spin-1/21/2 J/ψNJ/\psi N, spin-1/21/2 ηcN\eta_{c}N, and spin-averaged J/ψNJ/\psi N channels, all obtained at nearly physical pion masses. The numerical results indicate that the central binding energies of the spin-3/23/2 J/ψ+n+10J/\psi+n+^{10}Be, spin-1/21/2 J/ψ+n+10J/\psi+n+^{10}Be, and spin-1/21/2 ηc+n+10\eta_{c}+n+^{10}Be systems are 3.47, 3.55, and 1.91 MeV, respectively. The corresponding root-mean-square nuclear matter radii are predicted to be approximately 2.49, 2.48, and 2.60 fm.
