Vector mesons in dense matter
نویسنده
چکیده
We will summarize the progress in understanding the changes in the vector meson spectral density in nuclear medium using the constraint equations obtained from the Borel transformed dispersion relation and QCD Operator Product Expansion. We will discuss the results for the scalar mass shift and dispersion effects (three momentum dependence) for the light quark system (ρ, ω), the strange quark system (φ) and the heavy quark system (J/ψ) in nuclear medium. For the light quark systems, a nontrivial change in the mass and width are expected, while the dispersion effects are found to be small. Existing model calculations for the dispersion effects are compared to the constraint equation in detail. Very small, but accurate mass shift is obtained for the heavy quark system.

Formulation of Vector Manifestation in Hot and / or Dense Matter
The vector manifestation (VM) was proposed as a novel manifestation of chiral symmetry in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion. In this write-up, I briefly summarize the following main ingredients to formulate the VM in hot and/or dense matter: Effective field theory (EFT) based on the hidden local symmetry; Wilsonian matching between the EFT and QCD; Intrinsic the...
متن کاملTensor coupling and vector mesons in dense nuclear matter.
The effects of magnetic interaction between vector mesons and nucleons on the propagation (mass and width) of the ρ-meson in particular moving through very dense nuclear matter is studied and the modifications, qualitative and quantitative, due to the relevant collective modes (zero-sound and plasma frequencies) of the medium discussed. It is shown that the ρ-mesons produced in high-energy nucl...

The properties of vector mesons in nuclear matter are discussed. Results for the momentum dependence of the ρ-meson self energy in matter due to ρN interactions are presented, and consequences for the production rate of e+e− pairs in hot and dense matter are discussed. I also examine the constraints imposed by elementary processes on the widths of ρ and ω mesons in nuclear matter, and conclude ...

متن کاملDense Hadronic Matter in Holographic QCD
We provide a method to study hadronic matter at finite density in the context of the Sakai-Sugimoto model. We introduce the baryon chemical potential through the external U(1)v in the induced (DBI plus CS) action on the D8-probe-brane, where baryons are skyrmions. Vector dominance is manifest at finite density. We derive the baryon density effect on the energy density, the dispersion relations ...
متن کاملA New State Of Hadronic Matter At High Density
We propose in this article that if the chemical potential exceeds a critical value in dense hadronic medium, a first-order phase transition to a new state of matter with Lorentz symmetry spontaneously broken (in addition to the explicit breaking) takes place. As a consequence, light vector mesons get excited as “almost” Goldstone bosons. Since the light vector mesons dominantly couple to photon...
