Mass and width of the $d'$ resonance in nuclei

Abstract

We calculated the mass and width of the dd' resonance inside nuclei within a nucleon-Δ\Delta model by including the self-energy of the Δ\Delta in the NΔN\Delta propagator. We found that in the nuclear medium the width of the dd' is increased by one order of magnitude while its mass changes only by a few MeV. This broadening of the width of the dd' resonance embedded in nuclei is consistent with the experimental observations so that the dd' can be understood as a NΔN\Delta resonance. Thus, given the freedom between either isospin 0 or isospin 2 for the dd', our results give weigth to the isospin-2 assignment.
