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
We consider the two-flavor version of the extended linear sigma model (eLSM), which contains (pseudo)scalar and (axial-)vector quark-antiquark mesons, a scalar glueball (predominantly corresponding to $f_{0}(1710)$), as well as the nucleon and its chiral partner. We extend this model by the additional light scalar meson $f_{0}(500)$, predominantly a putative four-quark state. We investigate various interaction terms of the four-quark and glueball states with the other particles, some of which preserve and some of which explicitly break the $U(1)_{\textrm{A}}$ symmetry. We test our model by performing a global fit to masses and decay widths of the scalar resonances and pion-pion scattering lengths. We also discuss the influence of the scalar four-quark state and the glueball on the baryon sector by evaluating pion-nucleon scattering parameters. We find that the inclusion of $f_{0}(500)$ improves the description of pion-pion and pion-nucleon scattering lengths.

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.
