We study the $J/\psi$ photoproduction from nuclei in the near-threshold beam energy region of $E_{\gamma}$=5--11 GeV within the nuclear spectral function approach by considering incoherent direct (${\gamma}N \to {J/\psi}N$) and two-step…
We study the properties of strange and charm mesons in hot and dense matter within a self-consistent coupled-channel approach for the experimental conditions of density and temperature expected for the CBM experiment at FAIR/GSI. The…
The structure of eta-nucleus bound systems (eta mesic nuclei) is investigated as one of the tools to study in-medium properties of the N(1535) (N^*) resonance by using the chiral doublet model to incorporate the medium effects of the N^*…
The ground-breaking discovery of the first fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the $J/\psi J/\psi$ invariant mass distribution by the LHCb collaboration has inspired intensive theoretical studies. Various interpretations, such as…
In this report the search for eta-mesic nuclei is reviewed. The brief description of the experimental studies is presented with a focus on the possible production of the eta-nucleus bound states for light nuclei like 4He and 3He.
The P-wave charm-strange mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ lie below the $DK$ and $D^\ast K$ threshold respectively. They are extremely narrow because their strong decays violate the isospin symmetry. We study the possible heavy…
The missing-mass spectrum obtained in a recoil-free transfer reaction p($^{27}$Al,$^{3}$He)$\pi^{-}$p'X is analyzed. We find that the observed peak structure arises from the coherent contributions from two reaction processes in the energy…

The tetramixing of pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$-$\eta$-$\eta'$-$\eta_c$ and vector mesons $\omega$-$\rho$-$\phi$-$J/\psi$ are studied in the light-cone constituent quark model, and such mixing of four mesons provides a natural source for the…
The missing mass of the ${}^{12}{\rm C}(p,d)$ reaction has been measured near the $\eta'$-meson emission threshold in coincidence with a high-momentum proton to selectively collect $\eta'$-${}^{11}{\rm C}$ mesic nucleus formation events at…
The hidden charm $X(3872)$ resonance is usually thought to be a $D^{*0} \bar{D}^0$ meson-antimeson molecule with quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$. If this is the case, there is the possibility that there might be three body bound states…
We discuss the role of QCD symmetries in understanding the eta and etaprime mesons in nuclear media. Recent results on the etaprime mass in nuclei from the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration are very similar to the prediction of the Quark Meson…
In a recent measurement LHCb reported pronounced structures in the $J/\psi J/\psi$ spectrum. One of the various possible explanations of those is that they emerge from non-perturbative interactions of vector charmonia. It is thus important…
A systematic study of possible deuteronlike two-meson bound states, {\it deusons}, is presented. Previous arguments that many such bound states may exist are elaborated with detailed arguments and numerical calculations including, in…
The medium modifications of the open charm mesons ($D$ and $\bar D$) are studied in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in the presence of strong magnetic fields, using a chiral effective model. The mass modifications of these mesons in the…
We present the first predictions for sub-threshold open charm and charmonium production in nuclear collisions. The production mechanism is driven by multi-step scatterings of nucleons and their resonance states, accumulating sufficient…
In this talk we discuss the formation of exotic hadrons with hidden charm arising from three-body interactions. To be more specific, in the strangeness sector, we predict the existence of a mesonic state, $K^*(4307)$, which is dynamically…
The discovery of numerous new charmonium-like structures since 2003 have revitalized interest in exotic meson spectroscopy. These structures do not fit easily into the conventional charmonium model, and proposals like four-quark states,…
Recent topics on mesons in nuclei are discussed by especially emphasizing the role of the partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the nuclear medium. The spontaneously broken chiral symmetry in vacuum is considered to be incompletely…
In this paper the search for eta-mesic nuclei with particular focus on light $\eta$-He bound states is reviewed. A brief description of recent theoretical studies and experimental results is presented.
