A schematic two-level model consisting of a "collective" bosonic state and an "elementary" meson is constructed that provides interpolation from a hadronic description (a la Rapp/Wambach) to B/R scaling for the description of properties of…
We compute dilepton invariant mass spectra from the decays of rho mesons produced by photon reactions off nuclei. Our calculations employ a realistic model for the rho photoproduction amplitude on the nucleon which provides fair agreement…
Rho meson propagation in hot hadronic matter is studied in a model with coupling to $\pi\pi$ states. Medium modifications are induced by a change of the pion dispersion relation through collisions with nucleons and $\Delta's$ in the…
In connection with the claim made at the Quark Matter 2005 Conference that the Brown-Rho scaling is ruled out by NA60 data we consider dimuon production from semi-central In+In collisions in a full dynamical model. It is shown that if only…
The pi omega rho coupling constant is calculated in a relativistic hadronic framework incorporating nucleons and Delta(1232) isobars. Medium modifications are included. The vertex is analyzed in context of the omega to pi e+e- and rho to pi…
Medium modifications of the electromagnetic spectral function in hadronic and quark-gluon matter are reviewed. A strong broadening of the $\rho$ meson, which dominates the spectral function in the low-mass regime, is quantitatively…
Recent heavy ion experiments indicate modifications of the $\rho-$meson mass in medium. In the CERES experiments $\rho-$mesons are produced at $\sim$ normal nuclear matter density, where hadrons are more appropriate constituents than…
Using a rather complete description of the in-medium $\rho$ spectral function - being constrained by various independent experimental information - we calculate pertinent dilepton production rates from hot and dense hadronic matter. The…
We study relativistic mean-field models with hadron masses and coupling constants depending self-consistently on a scalar meson field. We demonstrate that by the field redefinition some models can be equivalently transformed into each…
We explore the range of values of the in-medium width of a $\rho$-meson at rest which is compatibale with the QCD sum rule approach in a nuclear medium assuming vector meson dominance and a Brown-Rho scaling law of the $\rho$-meson mass…
The modification of the width of the rho meson due to in-medium decays and collisions is evaluated. In high temperature and/or high density hadronic matter, the collision width is much larger than the one-loop decay width. The large width…
We extend our recent study of dilepton invariant-mass spectra from the decays of rho mesons produced by photon reactions off nuclei. We specifically focus on experimental spectra as recently measured by the CLAS Collaboration at the Thomas…
The electroproduction of rho mesons is studied at HERA with the H1 detector at high Q^2 and high |t|. Cross sections are measured as a function of Q^2, W and t. The W dependence of the gamma*-p cross section is observed to increase with Q^2…
In generalized Randall-Sundrum (RS) model with dilaton where bulk potential is generated by the antisymmetric tensor field the mass term of this field is introduced into the brane's Action. This permits to stabilize brane's position and…
The rate of dilepton emission from a magnetized hot hadronic medium is calculated in the framework of real time formalism of finite temperature field theory. We evaluate the one loop self-energy of neutral rho-meson containing…
The modification of the rho-meson self-energy due to the coupling to in-medium pions is calculated consistently at finite baryon density and temperature, keeping the full 3-momentum dependence in a gauge invariant way. As a function of…
We study the wave functions of light and heavy mesons in both hard-wall (HW) and soft-wall (SW) holographic models which use AdS/CFT correspondence. In the case of massless constituents, the asymptotic behaviors of the electromagnetic form…
Unstable particles (such as the vector mesons) have an important role to play in low mass dilepton production resulting from heavy ion collisions and this has been a subject of several investigations. Yet subtleties, such as the…
In this PhD thesis we analyze the medium modification of the pi-omega-rho coupling and subsequently discuss its possible influence on the dilepton production rate in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The first part of the thesis is devoted…
We compute the dimuon-excess invariant mass distribution at the rho-meson peak in the context of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies. The temperature, T, and chemical potential, mu, dependent parameters describing the…
