We present results for the measurement of $\phi$ meson production via its charged kaon decay channel $\phi \to K^+K^-$ in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=62.4$, 130, and 200 GeV, and in $p+p$ and $d$+Au collisions at…

An $\omega$-meson in motion with respect to a nuclear medium can couple to a $\sigma$-meson through a particle-hole excitation. This coupling is large. We investigate its consequences for the width of $\omega$-mesons in matter and for the…
