In medium sigma meson effects in two pion photoproduction in nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2011-02-09 v1

Abstract

We show theoretical results for (γ,π0π0)(\gamma, \pi^0 \pi^0) production on nucleons and nuclei in the kinematical region where the scalar isoscalar ππ\pi \pi amplitude is influenced by the σ\sigma pole. The final state interaction of the pions modified by the nuclear medium produces a spectacular shift of strength of the two pion invariant mass distribution induced by the moving of the σ\sigma pole to lower masses and widths as the nuclear density increases.
