φ-meson in Nuclear Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
φ-meson mass in nuclear matter (m∗φ) is investigated using an effective Lagrangian of φ interacting with octet baryons. m∗φ decreases by a few % in nuclear matter due to the current conservation and effective nucleon/hyperon masses. Its implication to the p-A and A-A collisions are briefly discussed. Submitted to Prog. Theor. Phys.

Evidence for in-medium modification of φ meson at normal nuclear density
The properties of hadrons, which are composite particles of quarks and gluons, have been measured and determined in the past in many experimental studies. These properties, such as mass and decay width, represent vacuum expectation values. Therefore, in principle, they can differ when the vacuum itself changes, i.e., when they are in hot and/or dense matter. A possible and interesting experimen...
متن کاملΦ Decay in Nuclei
We have studied the decay of the φ meson in nuclear matter by taking into account the renormalization of the K and K̄ mesons in the medium. We separate the contribution of the total width into different reaction channels, KK̄ and KY h , the latter ones associated with the φN → K+Y reactions. We find a total width at normal nuclear matter density of about 22 MeV, considerably larger than the free ...
متن کاملValid QCD sum rules for vector mesons in nuclear matter.
QCD sum rules for vector mesons (ρ, ω, φ) in nuclear matter are reexamined with an emphasis on the reliability of various sum rules. Monitoring the continuum contribution and the convergence of the operator product expansion plays crucial role in determining the validity of a sum rule. The uncertainties arising from less than precise knowledge of the condensate values and other input parameters...
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...
متن کاملφ- meson Production at RHIC energies using the PHENIX Detector
Light vector mesons are among the most informative probes to understand the strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma created at RHIC. The suppression of light mesons at high transverse momentum, compared to expectations from scaled p + p results, reflects the properties of the strongly interacting matter formed. The φ-meson is one of the probes whose systematic measurement in p + p, d + Au and Au + ...
