Meson masses in a dense nuclear medium
نویسنده
چکیده
The masses of the scalar (σ) and vector (ω) mesons and their widths in nuclear matter are studied in detail using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. It is shown that above normal nuclear matter density the effects of σ-ω mixing and the decay of the σ into 2π change the scalar meson mass considerably, while the vector meson mass remains near its mean-field value. We compare the QMC results with those of other effective models.

Medium effects on the rho meson.
The property of a rho meson in dense nuclear matter is studied using the +CD sum rule. The spectral function appearing on the hadronic side of the sum rule is evaluated in the vector dominance model that takes into account the interaction between the rho meson and the pion. Including pion modification by the delta-hole polarization in the nuclear medium, we find that as the nuclear density incr...
متن کاملThe dispersion relation of rho meson in hot/dense nuclear matter
The dispersion relation of ρ meson in hot/dense medium is analyzed based on the quantum hadrodynamics model with random phase approximation. The real mass and Debye mass behaviors of ρ meson and σ are discussed and compared. The effective masses of ρ and N decrease with the increase of density. The behaviors of Debye masses ms∗ ρ and m s∗ σ vs density are quite different, which reflect the char...
متن کاملProbing In-medium Vector Mesons by Dileptons at Heavy-ion Colliders *
An introduction to physics of in-medium hadrons with special emphasis towards modification of vector meson properties in dense nuclear matter is given. We start from remarkable analogy between the in-medium behavior of atoms in gases and hadrons in nuclear matter. Modifications of vector meson widths and masses can be registered experimentally in heavy-ion collisions by detecting dilepton spect...

We discuss properties of quark matter at finite baryon densities and zero temperature in a Vlasov approach. We use a screened interquark Richardson's potential consistent with the indications of Lattice QCD calculations. We analyze the choices of the quark masses and the parameters entering the potential which reproduce the binding energy (B.E.) of infinite nuclear matter. There is a transition...
متن کاملRho meson in dense hadronic matter.
The spectral function of a rho meson that is at rest in dense hadronic matter and couples strongly to the pion is studied in the vector dominance model by including the effect of the delta hole polarization on the pion. With the free rho-meson mass in the Lagrangian, we find that both the rho-meson peak and width increase with increasing nuclear density, and that a low-mass peak appears at inva...
