We show how the nuclear medium affects the masses of the $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons. The change should be easily detectable for dense matter and/or strong $\eta(\eta')N\bar N$ coupling. We also find that the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle is less…

In this work, we study the isospin conserved hidden bottomonium decay of $X_b\to \Upsilon(1S)\omega$, where $X_b$ is taken to be the counterpart of the famous $X(3872)$ in the bottomonium sector as a candidate for the meson-meson molecule.…

High-energy heavy-ion collisions have been suggested as a favorable environment for the production of $B_c$ mesons, due to a much larger abundance of charm and bottom quarks compared to elementary reactions. Motivated by recent CMS data for…
