The temperature and density dependence of the $\rho-\omega$ mixing amplitude has been studied from a purely hadronic model. The in-medium baryon masses and chemical potentials have been obtained at the Mean Field (MF) Level and these…
A novel mechanism for $\rho-\omega$ mixing induced by neutron-proton asymmetry in nuclear matter is uncovered and the variation of the mixing angle with the extent of asymmetry is presented.
We reexamine effects of the $\rho-\omega$ meson mixing mediated by nucleon polarizations on the symmetry energy in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. Taking into account the rearrangement term neglected in previous studies by others, we…
Using a purely hadronic model, we study the charge-symmetry-breaking $\rho$-$\omega$, $\sigma$-$\delta$, $\sigma$-$\rho$ and $\delta$-$\omega$ mixing amplitudes in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. The basic assumption of the model is that…
I estimate the degree of local chemical equilibration for $\pi$, $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in ultra--relativistic nuclear collisions. The $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons remain near chemical equilibrium in all cases, while the $\omega$ meson…
We study the behavior of the rho vector mass in the context of the almost baryon-free environment of an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision. We show that rho scattering within the hadronic phase of the collision leads to a temperature…
Experimental searches for modifications of vector mesons in the nuclear medium are reviewed. Data on $\rho,\omega$ and $\Phi$ mesons are presented. The results have been obtained in elementary reactions with proton and photon beams as well…
The mass shift, width broadening, and spectral density for the $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in a heat bath of nucleons and pions are calculated using a general formula which relates the self-energy to the real and imaginary parts of the…
We study the possibility of $\rho-a_0$ mixing via N-N excitations in dense nuclear matter. This mixing is found to induce a peak in the dilepton spectra at an invariant mass equal to that of the $a_0$. We calculate the cross section for…
Within a broad class of models we show that the amplitude for rho^0-omega mixing must vanish at the transition from timelike to spacelike four momentum. Hence in such models the mixing is either zero everywhere or is necessarily…
The mass shift $\Delta m_{\rho}$ and width broadening $\Delta\Gamma_{\rho}$ of $\rho$ mesons produced in heavy ion collisions is estimated using a general formula which relates the in-medium mass shift of a particle to the real part of the…
We evaluate the operator product expansion (OPE) for a mixed correlator of the isovector and isoscalar vector currents in the background of the nucleon density with intrinsic isospin asymmetry [i.e. excess of neutrons over protons] and…
We calculate dispersion relations and propagators for the $\sigma$, $\omega$, $\rho$ and $\delta$ mesons in relativistic nuclear matter with a proton-neutron asymmetry. In addition to the $\sigma$-$\omega$ and $\delta$-$\rho$ mixings…
Vector mesons containing light quarks are thought to have their masses reduced in dense nuclear matter, sacrificing some of their energy to the scalar field which becomes appreciable at finite baryon density. Model calculations find masses…
Matter in neutron star collisions can reach densities up to few times the nuclear saturation threshold and temperatures up to one hundred MeV. Understanding the structure and composition of such matter requires many-body nonperturbative…
It is shown that the ratio of strange to non-strange particle production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is expected to reach a maximum at beam energies around 30 A.GeV in the lab frame. This maximum is unique to heavy ion collisions,…
We calculate the momentum dependence of the $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing amplitude in vacuum with vector nucleon-nucleon interaction in presence of a constant homogeneous weak magnetic field background. The mixing amplitude is generated by the…
We have measured invariant mass spectra of electron-positron pairs in the target rapidity region of 12GeV p+A reactions. We have observed a significant difference in the mass spectra below the $\omega$ meson between p+C and p+Cu…
We investigate the splitting and mixing of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in nuclear matter. The calculations were performed on the basis of QCD sum rules and include all operators up to mass dimension-6 twist-4 and up to first order in the…
Active-sterile neutrino mixing is strongly constrained for m_s > 100 keV to avoid excessive energy losses from supernova cores. For smaller m_s, matter effects suppress the effective mixing angle except for a resonant range of energies…
