abstract

Kaon in-medium masses and mean-field potentials are calculated in isotopically symmetric pion matter to one loop of chiral perturbation theory. The results are extended to RHIC temperatures using experimental data on $\pi K$ scattering phase shifts. The kaon in-medium broadening results in an acceleration of the $\phi \to K\bar{K}$ decay. The increased apparent dilepton branching of the $\phi $-mesons, observed recently by NA50, NA49, and the PHENIX collaborations at RHIC, is interpreted in terms of rescattering of secondary kaons inside of the pion matter.

  1. Kaon Modification in Pion Medium

    nucl-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The pion medium enhances baryon-induced kaon modification by at most 5 percent at freeze-out, calculated from a chiral nucleon-kaon-pion Lagrangian.
