QCD Sum Rule for Open Strange Meson $K_1^\pm$ in Nuclear Matter

Nuclear Theory 2019-03-22 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The properties of open strange meson K1±K_1^\pm in nuclear matter are estimated in the QCD sum rule approach. We obtain a relation between the in-medium mass and width of K1K_1^- (K1+K_1^+) in nuclear matter, and show that the upper limit of the mass shift is as large as -249 (-35) MeV. The spectral modification of the K1K_1 meson is possible to be probed by using kaon beams at J-PARC. Such measurement together with that of KK^* will shed light on how chiral symmetry is partially restored in nuclear matter.
