$\phi$-meson mass in nuclear matter ($m_{\phi}^*$) is investigated using an effective Lagrangian of $\phi$ interacting with octet baryons. $m_{\phi}^*$ decreases by a few \% in nuclear matter due to the current conservation and effective…
We show that the QCD van der Waals attractive potential is strong enough to bind a $\phi^{0}$ meson onto a nucleon inside a nucleus to form a bound state. The direct experimental signature for such an exotic state is proposed in the case of…
The formations of the $K(\bar{K})$, $D(\bar{D})$, and $B(\bar{B})$ meson-nucleus bound states in ${\rm{^{16}O}}$, ${\rm{^{40}Ca}}$, ${\rm{^{90}Zr}}$, ${\rm{^{197}Au}}$, and ${\rm{^{208}Pb}}$ nucleus are investigated using the quark meson…
$\eta_c$-nucleus bound state energies are calculated for various nuclei. Essential input for the calculations, namely the medium-modified $D$ and $D^{*}$ meson masses, as well as the density distributions in nuclei, are calculated within…
A novel attempt has been made to probe the QCD phase boundary by using the experimental data for transverse momenta of {\phi} mesons produced in nuclear collisions at AGS, SPS and RHIC energies. The data are confronted with simple…
We propose a model for the production and suppression of J/\psi mesons in high-energy hadronic collisions. We factorized the process into a production of the $c\bar{c}$ pairs of relative momentum $k=k_c-k_{\bar{c}}$ convoluted with a…
The energies and widths of several D^0 meson bound states for different nuclei are obtained using a D-meson selfenergy in the nuclear medium, which is evaluated in a selfconsistent manner using techniques of unitarized coupled-channel…
Nuclear production experiments report missing absorption processes of the in-medium phi meson. Contributions arising from the K-bar K cloud have already been widely studied, and therefore we investigate the phi-meson properties in cold…
The measured ratios $R(x,A_1/A_2)$ for $J/\Psi$, $\Psi'$ and $\mu^+\mu^-$ production on two different targets $A_1, A_2$ as a function of the fractional momentum $x$ of the final state are well fit with a very simple functional form having…
The $\phi$ meson spectrum, which in vacuum is dominated by its coupling to the $\bar{K} K$ system, is modified in nuclear matter. Following a model based on chiral SU(3) dynamics we calculate the $\phi$ meson selfenergy in nuclear matter…
We calculate the nuclear suppression for $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ production within a coupled channel approach in the subspace of the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ states. We are able to explain, why (i) the $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ show the same…
A comprehensive data base of K- atom level shifts and widths is re-analyzed in order to study the density dependence of the Kbar-nuclear optical potential. Significant departure from a t*rho form is found only for nuclear densities about…
Motivated by the recently obtained HAL QCD potentials for the $N$-$\phi$, $N$-$J/\psi$, and $N$-$\eta_c$ interactions, we investigate the structure of the exotic nuclei $^{8}_{\phi}{\text{Be}}$, $^{8}_{J/\psi}{\text{Be}}$, and…

We have carried out a first calculation of $J/\Psi$ production from nuclear collisions within the covariant transport approach HSD, which has been very successful in describing both hadronic and electromagnetic observables from heavy-ion…
We consider a possibility of capture of a heavy charged massive particle $\chi^-$ by the nucleus leading to appearance of a bound state. A simple analytic formula allowing to calculate binding energies of the $N\chi^-$ bound state for…
We calculate the $B^-$-, $\overline{B^0}$-, $D^+$-, $D^0$-, $K^-$-, and $\overline{K^0}$-$^{12}$C bound state energies by solving the Klein-Gordon (K;G.) equation in momentum space, and also obtain the corresponding coordinate space radial…
Based on the effective Lagrangian approach, the $ J/\psi \to p \bar{p} \phi$ decay is studied in an isobar resonance model with the assumption that the $\phi$-meson is produced from intermediate nucleon resonances. The contributions from…

Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we investigate whether $\omega, \eta, \eta'$ and $D^-$ mesons form meson-nucleus bound states. Our results suggest that one should expect to find $\eta$- and $\omega$-nucleus bound states in all…
