On studying charm in nuclei through antiproton annihilation

Abstract: Abstract. We examine the production of open charm in antiproton annihilation on finite nuclei. The enhancement of the subthreshold production cross section, even in a nucleus as light as carbon, should provide a clean signature of the reduction in the masses of these mesons in-medium. We also show that a careful analysis of the D + and D − spectra can yield important information on the cross section for D ± N scattering.

“…This shift in the energy of the ψ ′ can be important for the estimates of the decay ψ ′ →DD, which becomes possible in nuclear matter due to the shifts in the masses of the D andD mesons [39,40,41,42,43]. The main difference between the nuclear interactions of slow J/ψ and ψ ′ is that for the latter there exist subthreshold scattering processes: the charm-exchange process ψ ′ +N →Λ c +D, the charmonium transition scattering ψ ′ +N →J/ψ+N , and generally additional channels where in the latter process instead of a single nucleon excited states are being produced such as N π, ∆π, etc.…”
