Combining the extended Linear Sigma Model with a parity doublet nucleon model, this paper predicts that most light meson masses drop in nuclear matter and favors a chiral invariant mass M0 around 0.8 GeV.

abstract
The photoproduction of \eta'-mesons off different nuclei has been measured with the CBELSA/TAPS detector system for incident photon energies between 1500 - 2200 MeV. The transparency ratio has been deduced and compared to theoretical calculations describing the propagation of \eta'-mesons in nuclei. The comparison indicates a width of the \eta' -meson of the order of \Gamma= 15-25 MeV at \rho =\rho_0 for an average momentum p_{\eta'} = 1050 MeV/c, at which the \eta'-meson is produced in the nuclear rest frame. The inelastic \eta' N cross section is estimated to be 3 - 10 mb. Parameterizing the photoproduction cross section of \eta'-mesons by \sigma(A) = \sigma_0 A^{\alpha}, a value of \alpha = 0.84\pm0.03 has been deduced.

Comprehensive study of mass modifications of light mesons in nuclear matter in the three-flavor extended Linear Sigma Model
Combining the extended Linear Sigma Model with a parity doublet nucleon model, this paper predicts that most light meson masses drop in nuclear matter and favors a chiral invariant mass M0 around 0.8 GeV.
