Dropping Sigma-Meson Mass and In-Medium S-Wave pion-pion Correlations

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

The influence of a dropping sigma-meson mass on previously calculated in-medium pion-pion correlations in the J=I=0 (sigma-meson) channel is investigated. It is found that the invariant-mass distribution around the vacuum threshold experiences a further strong enhancement with respect to standard many-body effects. The relevance of this result for the explanation of recent A(π,2π)XA(\pi,2\pi)X data is pointed out.
