Single-particle energies of the $Lambda_c$ chamed baryon are obtained in several nuclei from the relevant self-energy constructed within the framework of a perturbative many-body approach. Results are presented for a charmed baryon-nucleon ($Y_cN$) potential based on a SU(4) extension of the meson-exchange hyperon-nucleon potential $tilde A$ of the J{u}lich group. Three different models (A, B and C) of this interaction, that differ only on the values of the couplings of the scalar $sigma$ meson with the charmed baryons, are considered. Phase shifts, scattering lengths and effective ranges are computed for the three models and compared with those predicted by the $Y_cN$ interaction derived in Eur. Phys. A {bf 54}, 199 (2018) from the extrapolation to the physical pion mass of recent results of the HAL QCD Collaboration. Qualitative agreement is found for two of the models (B and C) considered. Our results for $Lambda_c$-nuclei are compatible with those obtained by other authors based on different models and methods. We find a small spin-orbit splitting of the $p-, d-$ and $f-$wave states as in the case of single $Lambda$-hypernuclei. The level spacing of $Lambda_c$ single-particle energies is found to be smaller than that of the corresponding one for hypernuclei. The role of the Coulomb potential and the effect of the coupling of the $Lambda_cN$ and $Sigma_cN$ channels on the single-particle properties of $Lambda_c-$nuclei are also analyzed. Our results show that, despite the Coulomb repulsion between the $Lambda_c$ and the protons, even the less attractive one of our $Y_cN$ models (model C) is able to bind the $Lambda_c$ in all the nuclei considered. The effect of the $Lambda_cN-Sigma_cN$ coupling is found to be almost negligible due to the large mass difference of the $Lambda_c$ and $Sigma_c$ baryons.

We review recent experimental and theoretical progress in understanding the microscopic details of clustering in light nuclei. We discuss recent experimental results on $alpha$-conjugate systems, molecular structures in neutron-rich nuclei, and constraints for ab initio theory. We then examine nuclear clustering in a wide range of theoretical methods, including the resonating group and generator coordinate methods, antisymmetrized molecular dynamics, Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-Ropke wave function and container model, no-core shell model methods, continuum quantum Monte Carlo, and lattice effective field theory.
We show that the D^- meson will form narrow bound states with ^{208}Pb. Mean field potentials for the D^0, D^0-bar and D^- in ^{208}Pb are calculated self-consistently using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model in local density approximation. The meson-^{208}Pb bound state energies are then calculated by solving the Klein-Gordon equation with these potentials. The experimental confirmation and comparison with the D^0-bar and D^0 will provide distinctive information on the nature of the interaction between the charmed meson and matter.
Scaling features of the nuclear electromagnetic response functions unveil aspects of nuclear dynamics that are crucial for interpretating neutrino- and electron-scattering data. In the large momentum-transfer regime, the nucleon-density response function defines a universal scaling function, which is independent of the nature of the probe. In this work, we analyze the nucleon-density response function of $^{12}$C, neglecting collective excitations. We employ particle and hole spectral functions obtained within two distinct many-body methods, both widely used to describe electroweak reactions in nuclei. We show that the two approaches provide compatible nucleon-density scaling functions that for large momentum transfers satisfy first-kind scaling. Both methods yield scaling functions characterized by an asymmetric shape, although less pronounced than that of experimental scaling functions. This asymmetry, only mildly affected by final state interactions, is mostly due to nucleon-nucleon correlations, encoded in the continuum component of the hole SF.
We show that chiral effective field theory (EFT) two-body currents provide important contributions to the quenching of low-momentum-transfer Gamow-Teller transitions, and use chiral EFT to predict the momentum-transfer dependence that is probed in neutrinoless double-beta decay. We then calculate for the first time the neutrinoless double-beta decay operator based on chiral EFT currents and study the nuclear matrix elements at successive orders. The contributions from chiral two-body currents are significant and should be included in all calculations.
We develop for charmed hadron production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions a comprehensive coalescence model that includes an extensive set of $s$ and $p$-wave hadronic states as well as the strict energy-momentum conservation, which ensures the boost invariance of the coalescence probability and the thermal limit of the produced hadron spectrum. By combining our hadronization scheme with an advanced Langevin-hydrodynamics model that incorporates both elastic and inelastic energy loss of heavy quarks inside the dynamical quark-gluon plasma, we obtain a successful description of the $p_mathrm{T}$-integrated and differential $Lambda_c/D^0$ and $D_s/D^0$ ratios measured at RHIC and the LHC. We find that including the effect of radial flow of the medium is essential for describing the enhanced $Lambda_c/D^0$ ratio observed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We also find that the puzzling larger $Lambda_c/D^0$ ratio observed in Au+Au collisions at RHIC than in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC is due to the interplay between the effects of the QGP radial flow and the charm quark transverse momentum spectrum at hadronization. Our study further suggests that charmed hadrons have larger sizes in medium than in vacuum.
