  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, RIKEN/RBRC

  4. Bound Nucleons, Mesons • 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 E2=M2+P2 You measure 16O levels Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC

  7. KEK-PS E325 to measure ρωφ decaysin nuclear matter f(G=4.4MeV) DQ=38MeV φ →K+K- /φ →e+e- KK Threshold in Free Space f modification ? K modification ? Shape modification can bemeasured in ω/ρ/φ →e+e- Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC

  8. Some Tips of E325 • 109/sec primary protons on thin (0.1%) nuclear target to suppress g conversions. • Focus on slowly moving f,w,r 's, p =~1GeV/c(lab).About 10% of f's will decay inside a nucleus if nothing happens. • Expected mass shift is 20~40 MeV for φ　～140MeV for ρ、ω • ( Hatsuda-Lee). • Secondary peak may enhance when low b f's are selected. • The ratio (f→K+K-)/(f→e+e-) is sensitive to modification of phi and/or K • natural width of f, w is narrow (4.4, 8.4MeV), 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) Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC

  27. What we have learned ? Toy Model Calc. • Meson modification is observed at normal nuclear density firstly in electron pair channel. • Does it means QCD chiral symmetry restoration ? • NOTYET ( life is more complicated) • mass shift as predicted by Hatsuda • in-media broadening of 3 × free • space ( D. Cabera et al.) • production of ρ・ω at the surface • of a nucleus （A 2/3） Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC

  28. What is missing then ? • Theoretically • How large the in-media broadening shift ? • SHAPE • DECAYRATE Many theoretical works, not conversing • Other trivial reasons ? • Collisional broadening • Phase space (not important in E325) • Experimentally • Statistics to give • Accurate shape (Partially achieved) • Dispersion (to come) • φ→e+e－ / K+K－ comparison By Akaishi, Yamazaki Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC

  29. Conclusions • The ‘98 ω→e+e- spectrum has shown an indication of in-medium decay of ρ/ω mesons, over the known hadronic sources below the ω peak. • The first observation of mesons decayed in nuclear matter. • In the 2002 e+e- data, we have confirmed the above excess. Obtained ρ/ω ratio supports that this excess is mainly due to the modifications of ρ meson. • The physics underneath is not apparent yet, but very promising to go further. • Some hint on φ meson modifications is seen. • The ’97+’99 f→K+K- data have shown • Low mass side enhancements (a0/f0 or f modification ?) seen. • PRODUCTION • The measured production cross section of ω is consistent with the previouse measurement. JAM calculation predict ~6 times larger. • A dependence of φ and ω productions can be reproduced by JAM. KEY is in detail analyses we have in our hand. Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC

  30. Origine of Large α observed in φ production s(f)/s(w) ee KK JAM JAM αf seems to be larger than αw Same tendency also in JAM. Most of φ production is from secondary interactions (JAM). Hideto En'yo, RIKEN/RBRC
