The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured low-mass vector-meson ($\omega+\rho$ and $\phi$) production through the dimuon decay channel at forward rapidity $(1.2<|\mbox{y}|<2.2)$ in $p$$+$$p$ and Au$+$Au…
In this article, we calculate the mass modifications of the vector and axial-vector mesons $D^*$, $B^*$, $D_1$ and $B_1$ in the nuclear matter with the QCD sum rules, and obtain the mass-shifts $\delta M_{D^*}=-71 \rm{MeV}$, $\delta…
The $\phi$ meson spectrum, which in vacuum is dominated by its coupling to the $\bar{K} K$ system, is modified in nuclear matter. Following a model based on chiral SU(3) dynamics we calculate the $\phi$ meson selfenergy in nuclear matter…
