Charmonium and D mesons in hadronic matter

Abstract

Abstract. We discuss two aspects of charmonium in medium. First, we present results of a recent study that compares the phenomenology of charmonium spectroscopy using smooth and sudden string breaking potentials. Next, we present results of a study that explores the possibility that J/Ψ might be bound in a large nucleus through the excitation of a color singlet intermediate states of D and D * mesons with density masses.
