The eta' meson mass may be reduced due to partial restoration of chiral symmetry. If this is the case, an eta'-nucleus system may form a nuclear bound state. We plan to carry out a missing-mass spectroscopy with the 12C(p,d) reaction at…

The mass of the {\eta}' meson is theoretically expected to be reduced at finite density, which indicates the existence of {\eta}'-nucleus bound states. To investigate these states, we perform missing-mass spectroscopy for the (p, d)…

The cross section for production of Phi mesons in proton-nucleus reactions is calculated as a function of the target mass. The decay width of the Phi meson is affected by the change of the masses of the Phi, K+ and K- mesons in the medium.…

Due to their long lifetimes, the $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons are the ideal candidates for the study of possible modifications of the in-medium meson-nucleon interaction through their absorption inside the nucleus. During the E01-112…

We consider the $J/\Psi$ suppression at a high energy heavy ion collision. An ideal gas of massive hadrons in thermal and chemical equilibrium is formed in the central region. The finite-size gas expands longitudinally in accordance with…

Pion-meson-exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials are derived for two nucleons in the intermediate states. The mesons we include are (i) pseudoscalar mesons: $\pi, \eta, \eta'$; (ii) vector mesons: $\rho, \omega, \phi$; (iii) scalar mesons:…

We report on preliminary results for the production of neutral mesons by 750 MeV/$c$ $\pi^-$ on complex nuclear targets (C, Al, Cu) and hydrogen. Our simultaneous measurement of $\pi^0$, $2\pi^0$, and $\eta$ final states allows an…

Motivated by the $\Sigma$-hypernuclear states reported in ($K^-,\pi^{\pm}$) experiments, we have explored the possibility that there exists a particle-stable $\Sigma^- nn$ bound state. For the J\"ulich \~A hyperon-nucleon, realistic-force…

We investigate the transition from suppression to enhancement of J/psi mesons produced in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions in the framework of the statistical hadronization model. The calculations are confronted with the most recent…

We derive the equation of state of nuclear matter including vacuum polarization effects arising from the nucleons and the sigma mesons in the quark-meson coupling model which incorporates explicitly quark degrees of freedom with quark…

Possible existence of $(c\bar{c})-$nucleus bound states are examined. We adopt Gaussian potentials for the $\eta_{c}-N$ and $J/\psi-N$ interactions. The relations between the scattering lengths $a$ of $(c\bar{c})-N$ interactions and the…

We propose stable exotic nuclei bound with $\bar{D}$ and $B$ mesons with respecting heavy quark symmetry. We indicate that an approximate degeneracy of $\bar{D}$($B$) and $\bar{D}^{*}$($B^{*}$) mesons plays an important role, and discuss…
