Hadrons in Medium

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

In these lectures I first give a motivation for investigations of in-medium properties of hadrons. I discuss the relevant symmetries of QCD and how they might affect the observed hadron properties. I then discuss at length the observable consequences of in-medium changes of hadronic properties in reactions with elementary probes, and in particular photons, on nuclei. Here I put an emphasis on new experiments on changes of the sigma and omega mesons in medium.
