$J/Ψ$ mass shift and $J/Ψ$-nuclear bound state

We calculate mass shift of the $J/Ψ$ meson in nuclear matter arising from the modification of $DD, DD^*$ and $D^*D^*$ meson loop contributions to the $J/Ψ$ self-energy. The estimate includes the in-medium $D$ and $D^*$ meson masses consistently. The $J/Ψ$ mass shift (scalar potential) calculated is negative (attractive), and complementary to the attractive potential obtained from the QCD color van der Waals forces. Some results for the $J/Ψ$-nuclear bound state energies are also presented.
