Nuclear Matter Probed with f Meson- exploring the lost symmetry-Hideto En’yo Kyoto University Syllabus • Introduction • What is MASS ? • How to measure particle mass in nuclear matter • Related Experiments • KEK-PS E325 experiment • Physics • Spectrometer • Results • Summary • Entertainment Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  2. Mass in QCD • Particle Data Booklet • mu= 1.5~5 MeV mp = 140 MeV • md = 3~9 MeV mr = 770 MeV • ms= 60~170 MeV mf= 1020 MeV Can we restore the symmetry ? How we measure ? • In Free Space • E2=M2+P2 • Mass is effectively given, but the state is GROUND LEVEL • When ParticleMdecays • M 2=S ei2- pi2invariant mass • What happens in Media ? Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  3. What Theorists Say ? • <qq> quark condensate : order parameter • to indicate how much the symmetry broken • but not an observable • →Mass of Vector Meson, r w f • Mv = 2 x Mqeff + small interaction term Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  4. Bound Nucleons • Imagine that a neutron ( or proton ) in Oxygen nuclei made GUT decay in Kamiokande. (assume that you have a perfect detector ) n→ π+ + e- Mn2 → ( Eπ+ Ee)2 -(Pπ+ Pe)2 Mn= 939.6 MeV , Mn= 938.3MeV ????? • More precisely 16O → π+ + e- + 15O* (Mn +M15O )2 → (E15O +Eπ+ Ee )2 - (P15o+ Pπ+ Pe )2 You measure 16O levels Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  5. Moving Mesons in Media be small • In-media meson modification • Observed Mass is not Lorentz Invariant • shift of resonance position • resonance broadening/narrowing →DISPERSION Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  6. How to Measure Mass in Media • 1: Search for a deeply bound meson state, Measure the level. (possible only at normal nucler density) • 2: Invariant Mass Spectroscopy, determine the dispersion of mesons in nuclear media ( even in hot or dense mater) • 3: Compare Decay Branching Ratios to different channels (decay Q value must be sensitive) Meson spectroscopy ( in free space) can be considered as the mass spectroscopy for the valence quarks in normal vacuum, with which it is difficult to answer “what is the origin of the mass”. Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  7. Hurdles • Many Unknown ( theories exist but almost no experiments ) • Temperature & dependence of <qq> • Temperature & time evolution →CERN/RHIC/LHC • Density & dependence of <qq> • Density & time evolution →BNL/JHF • Dispersion & Broadening A lot of inputs from experiments needed, even at the normalnuclearmatter density.

Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  9. KEK-PS E325 to measurefdecays in nuclear matter • f is narrow resonance (G=4.4MeV) DQ=38MeV • G = 4.4MeV sensitive to resonance-shape change • DQ= 38MeV sensitive to the decay branching ratios f →K+K- (49%) f →e+e- (3x10-4) KK Threshold in Free Space f modification ? K modification ? Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  10. E325 PHYSICSExpected Signal(electron pairs) • KEK-PS E325 to measure KEK-PS E325 to measure f decays inside a nucleus • In 12GeV p+A (C/CH_2/Cu/Pb)→ f + X • Observables • Invariant mass spectrum; f →K+K- and f→e+e- • Branching ratio; Br(f →K+K- )/Br( f →e+e-) • Less ambiguous data on the f modification • Also Sensitive to the production and interaction of f in nucleus Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  11. Mechanism of fProduction at 12 GeV J/y Drell-Yan • Particle Production follows Aa • a~ 1for • Drell-Yan lepton pairs • J/y • perturbative production • a~ 2/3for • p r w • fragmentations • fproduction ? Br(f →K+K-) / Br(f →e+e-) Pb Br(f →K+K-) / Br(f →e+e-)C to be free from production mechanism 2/3 f rw 300GeV p+A →mm 2/3 XF 120GeV p+A→f→KK Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  12. Some Tips of E325 • Expected mass shift is 20~40 MeV ( Hatsuda-Lee). • Focus on slowly moving f 's, p =~1GeV/c(lab).About 10% of f's will decay inside a nucleus if nothing happens. • Secondary peak may enhance when low b f's are selected. • The ratio (f→K+K-)/(f→e+e-) is sensitive to in-media modification of phi and/or K • natural width of f is narrow (4.4MeV), but some broadening can happen.. Estimations are: • Gf = sfNbfr0Gf <20MeV • s{fN} < $10mb, total cross section (from g+A→f ) • bf=0.7,r0 =0.16/fm3 • f →K+*K-*(K-N→SX) • Klingle and Weise Gf ~44MeV (at rest) • 109/sec primary protons on thin (0.1%) nuclear target tosuppress g conversions.

  16. Trigger Counters Lead Glass Calorimeter TOF GCs AC Karm Accceptance AC vetos 99% of pion (P>0.55GeV/c) TOF dt~200psec 2-Stage e-ID reject 99.9% pions Inside Magnet Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  17. Typical Event Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  18. Spectrometer Performance L→pp-Invariant Mass Spectrum ML= 1115.1MeV/c2 (PDG1115.7MeV/c2) dML = 2.2MeV/c2 →dMf = 1.2MeV/c2 Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  19. f →K+K-Invariant Mass Spectrum ALL CH2 • 0.4<Mkk<0.6 GeV/c2 , Pk<1.2GeV/c • Two kaons are in the same arm. • Mixed event background is over-plotted (shaded area). Pb C Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  20. Target Dependence of Width • Resonance positions & widths are consistent with those in free space (within the statistic of ‘97 data) • Pb data looks wider though. Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  21. Target Mass Dependence ofsf→K+K- a=0.98 0.10 Absolute cross section is not well determined yet.a is surprisingly large Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  22. a:Comparison to other data • consistent with the high energy date (Einc > 100GeV) where the f is produced somewhat perturbatively. Surprising that similar production mechanism even at 12GeV • May suggest the perturbative production of f even at 12 GeV Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  23. ‘99 data • We now have enough data to identify decays outside and inside nuclei. Very Preliminary Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University

  24. Summary and Outlook • Study of in-media modification of meson is very important and interesting to understand the broken chiral symmetry in QCD. • The experiment, E325, at KEK 12GeV PS measures 12GeV p + A →f + X reactions in both f →K+K- and f→e+e- channels. • To observe possible changes of the ratio, Br(f →K+K-)/Br(f →e+e-), and of the shape of the invariant mass peak under the normal nuclear density (r = r0 and T = 0). • Especially we put an emphasis on the detection of slowly moving f mesons ~ 1-2GeV/c in lab., subject to thus decay in Nuclear Media. • The ‘97 f→K+K- data have been analyzed so far (1/5 of the data already collected, 1/10 of data to be acquired). The results shows • No statistical significance on the mass shape deformation (YET) • Strong A dependence (a =0.97 +- 0.10 ) in the production • No significant increase of a with pT • The ‘99 f→K+K- data are still preliminary, with some hint of in-media decay component in the mass shape. • Many new experimental results including this experiment will be available soon, from GSI, Spring-8, and KEK.

(you can’t blow ) • Q2: You have 1 litterof hot red water (100oC) and 1 litter of cold blue water (0oC). You want to warm up the blue water with the red water. How high you can warm it up ? (do not use extra energy from outside) Hideto En'yo, Kyoto University
