Quarkonium-nucleus systems are composed of two interacting hadronic states without common valence quarks, which interact primarily through multi-gluon exchanges, realizing a color van der Waals force. We present lattice QCD calculations of the interactions of strange and charm quarkonia with light nuclei. Both the strangeonium-nucleus and charmonium-nucleus systems are found to be relatively deeply bound when the masses of the three light quarks are set equal to that of the physical strange quark. Extrapolation of these results to the physical light-quark masses suggests that the binding energy of charmonium to nuclear matter is B < 40 MeV.

  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. 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.
