Charmed matter

Abstract

Abstract. In the near future experiments will be able to produce charmed hadrons almost at rest in the interior of an atomic nucleus. One of the most exciting perspectives is the possibility of studying charmonium in a dense medium. In the present communication we present results of a study that explores the possibility that J/Ψ might be bound in a large nucleus through the excitation of intermediate states of D and D * mesons. We also present results of a recent prediction for the production ofΛ − c Λ + c in proton-antiproton annihilation experiments.
