I review recent theoretical studies on charmed hypernuclei and nuclear-bound charmonia and relate them to upcoming experiments. First, I discuss the use of effective field theory (EFT) techniques to extrapolate to the physical point (mπ = 138 MeV) ΛcN and JN and ηcN interactions obtained in lattice QCD simulations performed with large pion masses. Predictions made for the scattering lengths and effective range parameters of the extrapolated interactions are presented. Next, I discuss the use of nonmesonic weak decays of charmed hypernuclei to identify their formation. Finally, I present explicit predictions of charmoniumnucleus bound states based on the interactions obtained from lattice-extrapolated data.

We follow the notation most used in the recent [23, 24, 28] and past [14, 21] literature: A Λc+ hypernucleus with A baryons and total electric charge Z (number of protons plus one) receives the name of the ordinary nuclide with Z protons. In the present case, A = 12 and Z = 7, since we have six protons plus five neutrons and one Λc+ baryon; the nuclide with Z = 7 is nitrogen (N).
