We obtain the width of the $\omega$ meson in dense nuclear matter by taking into account (i) the free decay of the $\omega$ into three pions, which is dominated by $\rho \pi$ mode, (ii) the processes induced by a vector-baryon interaction…

The omega-resonance production and its pi0 gamma decay in p-A reactions close to threshold is considered within the Intranuclear Cascade (INC) Model. The pi0 gamma invariant mass distribution shows two components which correspond to the…
We estimate the $\Upsilon$, $\eta_b$ and $B^*$ meson mass shifts in symmetric nuclear matter. The interest is, whether the strengths of the bottomonium-(nuclear matter) and charmonium-(nuclear matter) interactions are similar or different.…
The properties of neutron stars are investigated by including $\delta$ meson field in the Lagrangian density of modified quark-meson coupling model. The $\Sigma^-$ population with $\delta$ meson is larger than that without $\delta$ meson at…
We reply to the Comment by Hatsuda and Lee on our recent paper "Meson Masses in Nuclear Matter" (Phys.Rev.Lett. 78, 1010, (1997)). We argue that, contrary to the claim in the Comment, the short distance operator product expansion is not…
The $\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ as well as $B^*$ meson mass shifts (scalar potentials) are estimated for the first time in symmetric nuclear matter. The main interest is, whether or not the strengths of the bottomonium-nuclear matter and…
The in-medium mass of the $\eta^{\prime}$ meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The $\eta^{\prime}$ mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The…
Recent theoretical developments of hadrons in nuclei are briefly reviewed in the aspect of chiral symmetry in nuclei. We show a general sum rule connecting in-medium hadronic quantities and quark condensate, emphasizing that both pionic…
$\phi$-meson mass in nuclear matter ($m_{\phi}^*$) is investigated using an effective Lagrangian of $\phi$ interacting with octet baryons. $m_{\phi}^*$ decreases by a few \% in nuclear matter due to the current conservation and effective…
We summarize the current theoretical and experimental status of the spectral changes of vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$, $\phi$) at finite baryon density. Various approaches including QCD sum rules, effective theory of hadrons and bag…
