The in-medium properties of the vector mesons are known to be modified significantly in hot and dense hadronic matter due to vacuum polarisation effects from the baryon sector in the Walecka model. The vector meson mass drops significantly…

By an effective Lagrangian plus QCD sum-rule approach, we investigate the mass shift of the $J/\psi$ state in medium, in symmetric nuclear matter with zero and finite temperature, and cold strange matter. The in-medium mass of the $J/\psi$…

In the last years much work has been done to learn about the properties of the $\rho$-meson in nuclear matter. In a calculation of the in-medium spectralfunction of the $\rho$ we find that it is strongly modified by baryonic resonances,…
