Abstract

We investigate the existence of bound states and resonances in the ϕNN,J/ψNN,ηcNN{\phi NN, J/\psi NN, \eta_c NN} systems using HAL QCD interactions for ϕN,J/ψN{\phi N, J/\psi N}, and ηcN{\eta_c N}. We employ the Gaussian expansion method to solve the complex-scaled Schr\"odinger equation and find no resonances or bound states in the J/ψNN{J/\psi NN} and ηcNN{\eta_c NN} systems. We estimate the interaction between charmonium and nuclei, concluding that the J/ψJ/\psi or ηc\eta_c is likely to bind with 3H{}^3\mathrm{H}, 3He{}^3\mathrm{He}, 4He{}^4\mathrm{He}, and heavier nuclei. For the ϕNN\phi NN system, the lattice QCD ϕN(2S1/2)\phi N\left({ }^2 S_{1 / 2}\right) interaction is absent. We combine the ϕp\phi p correlation function analysis and HAL QCD results in Model A. We assume the spin-spin interactions for J/ψNJ/\psi N and ϕN\phi N systems are inversely proportional to their masses in Model B. Model A predicts a stronger ϕN(2S1/2)\phi N({}^2 S_{1/2}) interaction and permits a two-body bound state, whereas Model B suggests the interaction is attractive but too weak to form a bound state. Both models predict bound states for the I(JP)=0(0)I(J^P) = 0(0^-) and 0(1)0(1^-) ϕNN\phi NN systems. In Model A, these states are deeply bound with binding energies exceeding 15 MeV and remain existent when considering parameter uncertainties. In contrast, these states are very loosely bound in Model B, with binding energies below 1 MeV and an existent probability of about 60\% when parameter uncertainties are considered. In both models, there exist very loosely bound I(JP)=0(2)I(J^P) = 0(2^-) three-body states which resemble a ϕ\phi-d atom with the ϕ\phi meson surrounding the deuteron, but their existences are sensitive to parameter uncertainties. No bound states or resonances are found in the isovector I(JP)=1(1)I(J^P) = 1(1^-) ϕNN\phi NN system.
