Holographic QCD provides effective theories via the AdS/CFT correspondence [1–3] and allows us to calculate various observables of large Nc QCD-like gauge theories. Nuclear physics is a challenging target of holographic QCD. The nuclear matrix model [4] was proposed to be a unified model of nuclear physics inspired and derived by the AdS/CFT. Atomic nuclei are bound states of nucleons, which may allow an effective description in terms of baryons in holographic QCD. Nucleons are D-branes in the gravity side of the AdS/CFT, so the holographic theory of the nucleons is given by matrices, which is the basis of the nuclear matrix model. By the nuclear matrix model, several important properties of nuclei, including the nuclear radii [5], nuclear spectra and magic numbers [6] have been reproduced. In this paper,
