We evaluate the mass shift of isospin-averaged D-meson in the nuclear medium. Borel-transformed QCD sum rules are used to describe an interaction between the D-meson and a nucleon by taking into account all the lowest dimension-4 operators in the operator product expansion (OPE). We find at normal matter density the D-meson mass shift is about 10 times (\sim 50 MeV) larger than that of J/\psi. This originates from the fact that the dominant contribution in the OPE for the D-meson is the nucleon matrix element of m_c\bar{q}q, where m_c is the charm-quark mass and q denotes light quarks. We also discuss that the mass shift of the D-meson in nuclear matter may cause the level crossings of the charmonium states and the D\bar{D} threshold. This suggests an additional mechanism of the J/\psi suppression in high energy heavy-ion collisions.

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

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Towards compressed baryonic matter densities: D meson diffusion

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using relaxation-time kinetic theory with a chiral hadronic model, the authors estimate that D meson spatial diffusion in dense nuclear matter decreases rapidly in a dilute-gas regime and mildly in a degenerate-gas regime.

  3. Heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons in cold nuclear matter

    nucl-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Using the quark-meson coupling model and effective Lagrangians, heavy and heavy-light mesons are predicted to feel attractive potentials in nuclei and form bound states, including new B_c-nucleus states.
