We present a relativistic and unitary approach to pion- and photon-nucleon scattering taking into account the $\pi N$, $\rho N$, $\omega N$, $\eta N$, $\pi\Delta$, $K \Lambda$ and $K \Sigma$ channels. Our scheme dynamically generates the s-…
When an energetic parton traversing the QCD medium, it may suffer multiple scatterings and lose energy. This jet quenching phenomenon may lead to the suppression of leading hadron productions as well as medium modifications of full jet…
We investigate meson's spectrum, decay constant and form factor in a nuclear medium through holographic two- and three-point correlation functions. To describe a nuclear medium composed of protons and neutrons, we consider a hard wall model…
The running of the $\rho\bar N N$ couplings in presence of nuclear matter is studied, and the relevant $\beta$-functions are shown to be different for $\rho^0$ and $\rho^+$, when the nuclear medium is asymmetric.
Two recent experiments have demonstrated that the effective $\rho$-mass in nuclear medium, as extracted from the $^3He(\gamma, \pi^+ \pi^-)$ reaction, is substantially reduced. This has been advocated as an indication of partial restoration…
Data on the photoproduction of $\omega$ mesons on nuclei have been re-analyzed in a search for in-medium modifications. The data were taken with the Crystal Barrel(CB)/TAPS detector system at the ELSA accelerator facility in Bonn. First…
