Experimental approach: Charm physics opens a window in the transition regime since mc is between the chiral and heavy quark limits Charmonium Spectroscopy The charmonium system is the positronium of QCD. It provides a unique window to study the interplay of perturbative and non-perturbative effects. Energy levels / widths details of QQ interaction Exclusive decays interplay of perturb. and non-pert. effects Comparison + ee versus pp e+e- interactions: Only 1-- states are formed Other states only by secondary decays (moderate mass resolution) pp reactions: All states directly formed (very good mass resolution) Severe limitations to existing experiments: (no B-field, beamtime, beam momentum reproducibility,…) Many open questions: h’c, states above DD threshold,… Charmed Hybrids Predictions for charmed hybrids (ccg) Mass: lowest state 3.9-4.5 GeV/c2 Quantum numbers: many allowed values, ground state JPC = 1-+ (exotic) Width: could be narrow (~MeV) for some states since DD suppressed O+- DD,D*D*,DsDs (CP-Inv.)

Charmed Hadrons in Nuclear Matter Investigating the properties of hadrons in matter is a main research topic at GSI. Partial restoration of chiral symmetry should take place in nuclear matter. Light quarks are sensitive to quark condensate Evidence for mass changes of pions r r and kaons has been deduced previously: p - deeply bound pionic atoms p± p - (anti)kaon yield and phase space distribution D mesons are the QCD analog of the H atom. They allow chiral symmetry to be studied on a single light quark Open Charm in Nuclei The expected signal for a changing mass scenario would be a strong enhancement of the D meson cross section, and relative D+ D- yields, in the near/sub-threshold region. This probes ground state nuclear matter density and T~0 (complementary to heavy ion collisions) cc Production on Nuclei A lowering of the DD mass would allow charmonium states to decay into this channel, thus resulting in a dramatic increase of width. Thus one will study relative changes to the yield and width of the charmonium states. J/Y – Nucleon Absorbtion The J/Y suppression observed at SPS is believed to be related the generation of the QGP. Such suppression can also be generated by purely hadronic interactions, so it is very important to know the N-J/Y cross section in nuclear matter. p + A J/Y + (A-1) Proton Form Factors at large At high values of momentum transfer |Q2| the system should be describable by perturbative QCD. Due to dimensional scaling, the FF should vary as Q4. The time like FF remains about a factor 2 above the space like. These differences should vanish in pQCD, thus the asymptotic behavior has not yet been reached at these large values of |q2|.
