Heavy mesons in dense matter

Abstract

Charmed mesons in dense matter are studied within a unitary coupled-channel approach which takes into account Pauli-blocking effects and meson self-energies in a self-consistent manner. We obtain the open-charm meson spectral functions in this dense medium, and discuss their implications on hidden charm and charm scalar resonances and on the formation of D-mesic nuclei.
