The interaction of the charmonium resonances J/psi and psi' with nucleons at low energies is considered using the multipole expansion and low-energy theorems in QCD. A lower bound is established for the relevant gluonic operator average over the nucleon. As a result we find the discussed interaction to be significantly stronger than previously estimated in the literature. In particular we conclude that the cross section of the J/psi - nucleon elastic scattering at the threshold is very likely to exceed 17 millibarn and that existence of bound states of the J/psi in light nuclei is possible. For the psi' resonance we estimate even larger elastic scattering cross section and also a very large cross section of the process psi'+N -> psi+N giving rise to the decay width of tens of MeV for the psi' resonance in heavy nuclei.

  1. Meson-Nucleus Bound States with Neural-Network Quantum States

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Neural-network quantum states applied to HAL QCD meson-nucleon potentials predict bound states for phi at A>=2, J/psi at A>=4, and eta_c at A>=6, with binding energies from tens of MeV to sub-MeV scales.

  2. Medium modifications of $1P$-wave charmonia $\chi_{cJ}(1P)$ in cold nuclear matter

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    χcJ(1P) masses drop by 34–97 MeV in nuclear matter in the QMC+unquenched-loop model, with the D*D̄* loop dominating χc2 and no D-D̄ threshold crossing below 3ρ0.

  3. Low-energy scattering of the $J/\psi \pi$ and $J/\psi K$ system

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    First dispersive upper-bound estimates for J/ψπ and J/ψK scattering lengths, with soft-gluon exchange dominating the coupled-channel mechanism.
