Description
Results for the \eta_c- and J/\Psi-nucleus bound state energies for various nuclei
are presented. These results are obtained using effective Lagrangians at the hadronic level. Essential input for the calculation, namely the medium-modified D and D^{*}
meson masses, as well as the density distributions in nuclei, are calculated within the
quark-meson coupling model. The attractive potentials for the \eta_c and J/\Psi mesons in the nuclear medium originate, respectively, from the in-medium enhanced DD^{*} and D\bar{D} loops in the \eta_c and J/\Psi self energies. Our results suggest that the
\eta_c and J/\Psi mesons should form bound states with all the nuclei considered.
Some of the results presented were recently published in J.J. Cobos-Martinez et al, Phys. Lett. B 811 (2020) 135882
