  1. Hadron modifications seen with electromagnetic probes Volker Metag II. Physikalisches Institut Universität Giessen Germany in-medium spectral function s(,p) • first observation of an -nucleus bound state: Observables in pp interactions and their relevance to QCD Workshop at ECT*,Trento, Italy, July 3-7, 2006 • motivation (predicted medium effects in the charm sector) • first observation of medium modifications of the  meson: • a.) mass shift • b.) in-medium width • summary and outlook

  2. hadrons = excitations of the QCD vacuum Mass [GeV] G.E.Brown and M. Rho, PRL 66 (1991) 2720 T.Hatsuda and S. Lee, PRC 46 (1992) R34 Motivation • QCD-vacuum: complicated structure • characterized by condensates • in the nuclear medium: • condensates are changed • change of the hadronic excitation energy spectrum • widespread experimental activities to search for in-medium modifications of hadrons

  3. possible in-medium modifications of hadrons • in-medium mass shift • (partial restoration of chiral symmetry, meson-baryon coupling) • in-medium broadening of hadron resonances • (meson-baryon coupling, collisional broadening) • hadron-nucleus bound states • (meson-nucleus attractive potential)

  4. V. Bernard and U.-G. Meißner NPA 489 (1988) 647 NJL-model K. Saito, K. Tushima, and A.W. Thomas PRC 55 (1997) 2637 Quark-meson coupling model (QMC) decrease of  -mass by  15%; decrease of D-mass by 3% at normal nuclear matter density degeneracy of chiral partners model predictions for in-medium masses of mesons

  5. A. Hayashigaki, Phys. Lett. B 487 (2000) 96 QCD sum rules: mD - 50 MeV  width of (3770) increases • (2s) may become instable to DD-decay on the other hand, Lee and Ko find: (S.H.Lee and C.M.Ko PRC67 (2003) 038202) from D-meson loops predictions in the charm sector consequences of a dropping D-meson mass

  8. Predictions of nuclear bound quarkonium states • S. Brodsky et al. , PRL 64 (1990) 1011 attractive cc – nucleon potential due to multi gluon exchange  c binding energy to light nuclei of the order of  20 MeV • Klingl et al., PRL 82 (1999) 3396 QCD sum rules: attractive mass shift of  5-10 MeV for J/ andc • K. Saito et al., hep-ph/0506314 D- - nucleus bound states (superposition of Coulomb + strong interaction) D-208Pb (1s) bound by 24 MeV

Arnaldi et al., PRL 96 (2006) 162302: In + In (158 AGeV) -spectral function shows strong broadening but no shift in mass experimental approach: dilepton spectroscopy: r, w, f e+e- essential advantage: no final state interactions !! • CLAS (Jlab): C. Tur et al., A , ,  +X • HADES (GSI): planned experiment - p   n on bound proton

Effenberger et al.  w p0 g g fraction of -decays in the medium (  0.1 0) :  35% -mass in nuclei from photonuclear reactions advantage: • p0g large branching ratio (8 %) • no -contribution (  0 : 7  10-4) disadvantage: • p0-rescattering

  11. Expected  in-medium signal rescattering of pions in nuclei predominantly proceeds through (1232) excitation: scattered pions have Ekin150 MeV no distortion by pion rescattering expected in mass range of interest

  18. P. Mühlich , private communication taking the momentum dependence of the  width into account,both analyses agree: • experimental problem: luminosity L  A-2/3 (for Au factor 30 !!) • p - loss due to single Coulomb scattering  Z2 dependence of  width on  momentum •  gets broadened in the medium by a factor 10!! • transparency ratio measurement also possible for charmed mesons in the • nuclear medium   inel (p) (p); (J/-suppression in AA collisions)

  19. Nb LH2 momentum dependence of  signal (Nb-target) D. Trnka et al., PRL 94 (2005)192303 • mass modification only for p 0.5 GeV/c determination of momentum dependence of  - nucleus potential requires finer momentum bins  improved 2nd. generation experiment

  27. An in-medium dropping of the  meson mass has been observed • consistent with • first information on in-medium  width: Summary and outlook • major step forward towards understanding the origin • of hadron masses • first evidence for mesic 11B  second generation experiments with improved statistics are needed and in preparation  difficult to transfer techniques and approaches to the charm sector !!
