Subthresholdρ0photoproduction on3He

Abstract: A large reduction of the ρ 0 mass in the nuclear medium is reported, inferred from dipion photoproduction spectra in the 1 GeV region, for the reaction 3 He(γ,π + π − )X with a 10% duty factor tagged-photon beam and the TAGX multi-particle spectrometer. The energy range covered (800≤Eγ ≤1120 MeV) lies mostly below the free ρ 0 production threshold, a region which is believed sensitive to modifications of light vector-meson properties at nuclear-matter densities. The ρ 0 masses extracted from the MC fitting of … Show more

“…Various experiments suggest that the spectral functions of hadrons are modified in a dense nuclear environment [30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The enhancement of lepton pair yield in CERES data [37] below the ρ-mass can only be explained by assuming the in-medium modifications of the ρ meson [38][39][40][41].…”

“…For many years pion beams have provided a unique probe for the study of nuclei with considerable success. Lately, the possibility has been raised that virtual pions may also be useful as a complementary probe [1]. Coherent pion production in nuclei has often been likened to elastic pion scattering [2] and may be utilized as an effective virtual pion source.…”

“…-scaling ansatz [16]. In our event generator (PLUTO [17] ) meson production was hence mod- eled assuming emission from a thermal source with a temperature T 80 MeV, but no radial expansion velocity ( r 0). Furthermore, for the 0 mesons, an anisotropic angular distribution of the type dN=d cos CM 1 a 2 cos 2 CM with a 2 0:7 was used, as deduced from our charged-pion analysis.…”
