Matter effects on $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show how the nuclear medium affects the masses of the η\eta and η\eta' mesons. The change should be easily detectable for dense matter and/or strong η(η)NNˉ\eta(\eta')N\bar N coupling. We also find that the ηη\eta-\eta' mixing angle is less in magnitude in the nuclear matter than in vacuum.
