The QCD vacuum shows the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry. In the hot and/or dense QCD medium, the chiral order parameter such as⟨ q¯ q⟩ is expected to change as a …

We show that the D− meson will form narrow bound states with 208 Pb. Mean-field potentials for the D 0, D 0, and D− in 208 Pb are calculated self-consistently using the quark …
In our quest to win a deeper understanding of how QCD actually works, the study of the binding of heavy quarkonia and heavy-flavor hadrons to atomic nuclei offers enormous …

We examine the production of open charm in antiproton annihilation on finite nuclei. The enhancement of the subthreshold production cross section, even in a nucleus as light as …

The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, is applied to a systematic study of …
The effects of internal quark structure of baryons on the composition and structure of neutron star matter with hyperons are investigated in the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The …
We investigate theoretically whether it is feasible to detect η-and ω-nucleus bound states. As well as the closed shell nuclei, 16O, 40Ca, 90Zr and 208Pb, we also investigate 6He, 11B …

The properties of the kaon, K, and antikaon, K ̄, in nuclear medium are studied in the quark- meson coupling (QMC) model. Employing a constituent quark-antiquark (MIT bag model) …
We present updated and extended results for the η-and η′-nucleus bound state energies, obtained by solving the Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon equations with complex optical …
