  29. Conclusions and future prospects • The MCMC model is a suitable framework for the evaluation of the nuclear effects in wide ranges of targets and incident energies. • The calculations of the incoherent cross sections for p0 reproduce with good accuracy the PrimEx data. The fitted parameters obtained for Carbon (0.69 ± 0.05/1.35 ± 0.03) are strongly dependent (factor 2) on the calculations of the coherent part (S. Gevorkyan et al./Kaskulov & Mosel). • Our reanalysis of the h --> gg decay width [0.476(62) keV] is in line with the PDG average [0.510(26) keV] and ~ 50% higher than Cornell’s result [0.324(46) keV]. Future and high precision measurements using the Primakoff method are necessary and could be focused on the proton (constraint), light nuclei (suitable to disentangle the Coulomb peak) and heavy targets (to access the unknown in-medium hN cross section). CONCLUSIONS 8/20/2014 Tulio Rodrigues – NN2012 – San Antonio – USA 29

  30. Conclusions and future prospects • The predictions for w mesons with sinel ~40mb reproduce quite well TAPS data, leading to G*~ 56 MeV. This result is considerably lower than the predictions from the Giessen, Valencia and Glauber models (factors 1.3 to 1.5). In the Glauber model, the effects of Fermi motion, Pauli-blocking, coupled-channels, nuclear shadowing and p0 rescattering are neglected. • Recent data from CLAS indicate a much stronger w absorption than TAPS measurements. Calculations using the Giessen, Valencia and Glauber models could not explain this huge absorption even assuming G* > 200 MeV and sinel> 150 mb. Our preliminary analysis of the e+e-IM spectra suggests that both CLAS and TAPS data are mutually consistent with a multiple scattering scenario with sinel ~ 39 mb and G*~ 57 MeV. CONCLUSIONS 8/20/2014 Tulio Rodrigues – NN2012 – San Antonio – USA 30

  31. Future plans • Short term: • Delineation of the inelastic background of pseudoscalar mesons in future experiments dedicated to the chiral anomaly of QCD via the Primakoff method: [“Precision measurement of Gh --> gg with the 12 GeV upgrade @ Jlab”, A. Gasparian et al., JLab exp. E1210011, http://www.jlab.org/exp_prog/proposals/10prop.html (2010)] • The investigation of in-medium changes in light vector mesons surrounded by strongly interacting cold nuclear matter (JLab, KEK, Spring-8 and TAPS) • Long term (potentialities/possibilities): • To extend the calculations for Heavy-Ion Collisions • Hadronization mechanism • Color Transparency • Jets in dense and hot nuclear matter • Di-lepton channels in relativistic HI collisions FUTURE PROSPECTS 8/20/2014 Tulio Rodrigues – NN2012 – San Antonio – USA 31
