چکیده
We propose an experimental procedure to find out the medium modifications of the φ meson. The reaction is inclusive φ photoproduction in nuclei, looking for KK pairs from the φ decay with total momentum smaller than 100-150 MeV/c, which are made possible at energies of present laboratories from center of mass φ backward production and the help of Fermi motion. We have conducted a many body calculation of the mass distribution of the φ adapted to the experimental set up of a recent JLAB experiment where the backwards φ photoproduction has been measured. Using recent results for the in medium properties of the φ, we find that the width of the invariant mass distribution for photoproduction on medium to heavy nuclei is larger than the free φ width by a factor of two or more. PACS: 13.25.-k, 13.75.Jz, 14.40.Cs

Based on a prior determination of the φ selfenergy in a nuclear medium we perform a theoretical study of inclusive φ photoproduction in nuclei, looking at the A dependence of the cross sections for different φ momenta. We find sizeable reductions in the nuclear cross sections with respect to the elementary one, using a φ selfenergy which implies a width about six times the free one at normal nu...

متن کاملφ-meson photoproduction from nuclei
We study coherent and incoherent φ-meson photoproduction from nuclei. The available data are analyzed in terms of single and coupled channel photoproduction. It is found that the data on coherent photoproduction can be well reproduced within a single channel optical model and show only little room for ω− φ mixing. These data indicate a normal distortion of the φ-meson in nuclei, which is compat...
متن کاملMeasuring the φ meson width in the medium from p induced φ production in nuclei
1 Measuring the φ meson width in the medium from p induced φ production in nuclei We study the A dependence of the φ meson production cross section in proton nucleus reactios at energies just above threshold, which are accessible in an experimental facility like COSY. This A dependence has two sources: the distortion of the incident proton and the absorption of the φ in its way out of the nucle...
