Baryon masses from QCD current correlators at $T\neq 0$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Correlation functions of QCD currents with quantum numbers of nucleon and Δ\Delta-isobar are considered at finite temperatures. Corrections of order T4T^4 to the correlators are calculated and interpreted in terms of thermal mass shifts using a QCD sum rules type of argument. In both cases the masses decrease with TT.
