Introduction ¯ K∗ self-energy from the s-wave ¯ K∗N interaction ¯ K∗ → ¯ Kπ in dense matter Results Nuclear transparency in the γ A

Previous results on the interaction of vector mesons with nuclear matter In M. Kaskulov, E. Hernandez and E. Oset, Eur. Phys. J. A 31, 245 (2007) the authors predict no shift and a width of Γ(ρ0) ∼ 90 MeV at normal nuclear density. Experiments done by the CLASS Collaboration confirms this null shift for the ρ mass and a broadening of the ρ, ω, φ mesons at normal nuclear density. M. H. Wood et al. [CLAS Collaboration], Phys. Rev. C 78, 015201

(2008). C. Djalali et al., Nucl. Part. Phys. 35, 104035 (2008).

These theoretical predictions and the results of CLASS are in contradiction with the parametrization derived by Hatsuda and Lee: m = m0(1 − 0.16 ρ ρ0 ) and with the 20 % decrease in the ρ meson mass predicted by Brown and Rho. While the KEK team had earlier reported an attractive mass shift

  • f the ρ. Conclusions could depend on the way the background

is subtracted.

Introduction ¯ K∗ self-energy from the s-wave ¯ K∗N interaction ¯ K∗ → ¯ Kπ in dense matter Results Nuclear transparency in the γ A

Conclusions

We have studied the properties of ¯ K∗ mesons in symmetric nuclear matter within a self-consistent coupled-channel unitary approach using hidden-gauge local symmetry. The corresponding in-medium solution incorporates Pauli blocking effects and the ¯ K∗ meson self-energy self-consistently. We have found a small shift of the mass of the ¯ K∗ resonance in the medium. We found that at ρ = ρ0 the ¯ K∗ width is increased to about 250 MeV, or about six times larger than its free width. This spectacular increase is much bigger than the one evaluated for the ρ meson in matter. We have made estimation of the transparency ratios in the γA → K+ ¯ K∗A′ reaction and found substantial reduction from unity of that magnitude which should be easier to observe experimentally by the CLASS collaboration.
