We study the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark–
meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on a mean field description of non …

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 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 …

A review of the present understanding of η′ and η meson physics and these mesons as a
probe of gluon dynamics in low-energy QCD is presented. Recent highlights include the …

We argue that η bound states in nuclei are sensitive to the singlet component in the η. The
bigger the singlet component, the more attraction and the greater the binding. Thus …

We discuss theoretically the possibility of observing the bound states of the η and η'(958)
mesons in nuclei. We apply the NJL model to study the η and η'meson properties at finite …

The energies and widths of bound states of the η meson in different nuclei are obtained
using the results for its selfenergy in a nuclear medium, which is evaluated in a …

The s-wave η self-energy in the nuclear medium is calculated in a chiral unitary approach. A
coupled channel Bethe–Salpeter equation is solved to obtain the effective ηN interaction in …

We calculate theoretically the formation spectra of η′(958)-nucleus systems in the (p, d)
reaction for the investigation of in-medium modification of the η′ mass. We show …

The most recent development of the quark–meson coupling (QMC) model, in which the
effect of the mean scalar field in-medium on the hyperfine interaction is also included self …
