Finite-temperature effects on D-meson properties

Abstract

We study the spectroscopy and transport properties of charmed mesons in a thermal medium by applying an effective field theory based on chiral and heavy-quark symmetries in the imaginary time formalism. Relying on unitarity constraints and self-consistency we extract the in-medium properties (masses and widths) of DD and DsD_s mesons and their interactions with light hadrons. We report our findings on 1) dynamically generated states, 2) thermal evolution of chiral partners, 3) in-medium scattering amplitudes, and 4) transport coefficients below the chiral restoration temperature.
