Proton-Proton Spin Correlations at Charm Threshold and Quarkonium Bound to Nuclei
read the original abstract
The anomalous behavior of the spin-spin correlation at large momentum transfer in pp elastic scattering is described in terms of the degrees of freedom associated with the onset of the charm threshold. A non-perturbative analysis based on the symmetries of QCD is used to extract the relevant dynamics of the charmonium-proton interaction. The enhancement to pp amplitudes and their phase follow from analyticity and unitarity, giving a plausible explanation of the spin anomaly. The interaction between charmonium and light quarks in nuclei may form a distinct kind of nuclear matter, nuclear bound quarkonium.

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