Production and in-medium modification of hidden strange $\phi$ mesons are studied in proton-nucleus reactions - p+C, p+Cu and p+Pb - at 12 GeV/c, partially measured by the KEK E325 collaboration via the dilepton decay mode. This work is…
We calculate the momentum dependence of the $\rho$-meson selfenergy based on the dispersion relation for the $\rho N$ scattering amplitude $f(\omega$) at low nuclear density. The imaginary part of $f(\omega)$ is determined from the optical…
The in-medium masses of the light vector, $\rho^{0, \pm}$, $\omega$ and the light axial-vector, $A_1^{0, \pm}$ mesons, are studied in the magnetized nuclear matter, accounting for the effects of the Dirac sea. The in-medium partial decay…
Chiral symmetry is one of the most fundamental symmetries in QCD. It is closely connected to hadron properties in the nuclear medium via the reduction of the quark condensate <bar{q}q>, manifesting the partial restoration of chiral…
