abstract
We report on the first measurement of $J/\psi$ photoproduction from nuclei in the photon energy range of $7$ to $10.8$ GeV, extending above and below the photoproduction threshold in the free proton of $\sim8.2$ GeV. The experiment used a tagged photon beam incident on deuterium, helium, and carbon, and the GlueX detector at Jefferson Lab to measure the semi-inclusive $A(\gamma,e^+e^-p)$ reaction with a dilepton invariant mass $M(e^+e^-)\sim m_{J/\psi}=3.1$ GeV. The incoherent $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross sections in the measured nuclei are extracted as a function of the incident photon energy, momentum transfer, and proton reconstructed missing light-cone momentum fraction. Comparisons with theoretical predictions assuming a dipole form factor allow extracting a gluonic radius for bound protons of $\sqrt{\langle r^2\rangle}=0.85\pm0.14$ fm. The data also suggest an excess of the measured cross section for sub-threshold production and for interactions with high missing light-cone momentum fraction protons. The measured enhancement can be explained by modified gluon structure for high-virtuality bound-protons.

Exclusive $J/\psi$ photo-production on nuclei
The Pom-CQM model of J/psi photoproduction on the nucleon is extended to predict exclusive J/psi photoproduction cross sections on deuteron, helium-4, oxygen-16, and calcium-40, with relativistic deuteron wave functio...

Observing short-range correlations in nuclei through $\rho^0$ photo-production
Photoproduction of rho0 mesons on nuclei can test the probe-independence of Generalized Contact Formalism and confirm proton-neutron pair dominance in short-range correlations.

Absorption of $\psi(2S)$ mesons in nuclei
Near-threshold photoproduction of ψ(2S) mesons on nuclei is predicted to show measurable sensitivity to the unknown ψ(2S)-nucleon absorption cross section, motivating measurements at an upgraded CEBAF.
