It is important to measure the hadron spectrum at finite density to explore the origin of hadron masses. At the KEK-PS E325 experiment, 
mesons inside and outside nuclei were measured by using 12GeV pA reactions and significant spectral modification was observed. In order to accurately estimate the density that the mesons felt during the reaction, a PHSD transport calculation of the respective reaction is currently ongoing. In this paper, PHSD and the current status of its implementation are reported.

被引用回数：0Production and in-medium modification of hidden strange mesons are studied in proton-nucleus reactions: p+C, p+Cu, and p+Pb at 12 GeV/c, partially measured by the KEK E325 Collaboration via the dilepton decay mode. This work is based on the off-shell microscopic parton-hadron-string dynamics transport approach, and especially makes it possible to simulate in-medium off-shell dynamics of the meson in the reactions studied. Different in-medium scenarios for the modification of the meson spectral function in nuclear matter are investigated: (i) dropping pole mass, (ii) collisional broadening, and (iii) simultaneous dropping pole mass and collisional broadening. Even though the meson production in p+A reactions occurs only at densities around or below normal nuclear matter density 
, we find visible modifications of the generated dilepton spectra for the in-medium scenarios compared to the vacuum distribution.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The femtoscopic correlation function is studied within a hadronic effective Lagrangian approach with coupled channels, based on hidden local symmetry. The results are compared with the data recently reported by the ALICE collaboration. We find that the correlation function has very different features for the system in the spin 1/2 and 3/2 configurations, with the spin-averaged combination matching well with the experimental data. A strong attraction, leading to the formation of a bound state or a very prominent cusp is found in the spin 3/2 case. The correlation function for spin 1/2, on the other hand, is strongly impacted by the negative parity 
*(1895) nucleon resonance.

We first review results of transport simulations of 12 GeV pA reactions to study the meson in nuclear matter, especially focusing on the production mechanism of the meson in such reactions and on the generated dilepton spectrum. Next, we discuss a recent study calculating the correlation function, making use of a hadronic effective Lagrangian approach with coupled channels and comparing the result with the recent measurement of the same quantity by the ALICE collaboration.

The mass shift a spin-1 particle moving in the nuclear medium will depend on its polarization direction. To study polarization-independent mass shifts in the medium, we explore methods to isolate each polarization direction of spin-1 mesons through the angular-dependent two-body decay modes. Specifically, we study

and 
(
) decays. Concerning and mesons, since both particles have vacuum widths smaller than 100 MeV, they are ideal candidates for experimentally measuring chiral partners. The simultaneous observation of mass shifts of these chiral partners would provide valuable insights into the contribution of chiral symmetry breaking to the generation of hadron masses.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We study the recently observed baryon in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) sum rules. We construct the P-wave baryon currents with a covariant derivative, and perform spin projection to obtain the currents with total spin 1/2 and 3/2. We then apply the parity-projected QCD sum rules to separate the contributions of the positive and negative parity states. We extract the masses of and states to be GeV and GeV. Both results are in good agreement with the experimental result. Therefore, it is likely that the is a negative parity state, which is interpreted as a P-wave excited state in the quark model. However, its spin is not determined in the present analysis, which can be done by detailed study on its decay properties.

Because both the and mesons have vacuum widths smaller than 100 MeV, they are ideal candidates for realizing mass shift measurements. On the other hand, the different momentum dependence of the longitudinal and transverse modes smear the peak positions. In this work, we analyze the angular dependence of the two-body decays of both the and . It is found that the longitudinal and transverse modes of the can be isolated by observing the pseudoscalar decay in either the forward or perpendicular directions, respectively. For the decaying into a vector meson and a pseudoscalar meson, one can accomplish the same goal by further observing the polarization of the vector meson through its angular dependence on the two pseudoscalar meson decay.

There is presently no consensus on how the meson mass and width will change once it is put in a dense environment such as nuclear matter. While many theoretical works exist, connecting them with experimental measurements remains non-trivial task, as the meson in nuclear matter is usually produced in relatively high-energy pA (p: proton, A: nucleus) reactions, which are generally non-equilibrium processes. In this presentation I will report on an ongoing project, attempting to simulate pA reactions in which the meson is produced in nuclei, making use of a transport approach. Results of simulations of 12 GeV/30 GeV p+C and p+Cu reactions will be presented and comparisons between obtained dilepton spectra and experimental data of the E325 experiment at KEK will be made. Furthermore, predictions for the ongoing J-PARC E16 experiment for both dilepton and spectra will be given and discussed.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：30.25(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We investigate polarized gravitational waves generated by chiral fermions in the early Universe. In particular, we focus on the contribution from left-handed neutrinos in thermal equilibrium with finite temperature and chemical potential in the radiation dominated era. We compute the correlation functions of gravitational fields pertinent to the Stokes parameter V characterizing the circular polarization of gravitational waves in the Minkowski and expanding spacetime backgrounds. In the expanding universe, we find that the thermalized neutrinos induce a non-vanishing V linear to the neutrino degeneracy parameter and wavenumber of gravitational waves in the long wavelength region. While the magnitude of the gravitational waves generated by thermal neutrinos is too small to be detectable by current and planned third generation gravitational wave detectors, their observations by future generation detectors for ultra-high frequency regimes could provide information on the neutrino degeneracy parameter in the early Universe.

After calculating the transition matrix element between the pion and the vacuum through the Weinberg operator, we obtain the long-range CP-odd nuclear force by determining the isovector CP-odd pion-nucleon vertex, using chiral perturbation theory at NLO. The EDMs of

While the leading contribution of the Hg EDM is given by the intrinsic nucleon EDM, that of Xe atom may be dominated by the one-pion exchange CP-odd nuclear force generated by the Weinberg operator. From current experimental data of the Hg atomic EDM, we obtain an upper limit on the Weinberg operator magnitude of

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：30.25(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The modification of the meson spectrum in nuclear matter is studied in an updated QCD sum rule analysis, taking into account recent improvements in properly treating the chiral invariant and breaking components of four-quark condensates. Allowing both mass and decay width to change at finite density, the QCD sum rule analysis determines certain combinations of changes for these parameters that satisfy the sum rules equally well. A comprehensive error analysis, including uncertainties related to the behavior of various condensates at linear order in density, the employed renormalization scale and perturbative corrections of the Wilson coefficients, is used to compute the allowed ranges of these parameter combinations. We find that the meson mass shift in nuclear matter is especially sensitive to the strange sigma term 
, which determines the decrease of the strange quark condensate in nuclear matter.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：52.80(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The spectrum of the negative-parity spin-1/2 baryons is studied using lattice QCD and hadronic effective theory in a unitarized coupled-channel framework. A direct comparison between the two approaches is possible by considering the hadronic effective theory in a finite volume and with hadron masses and mesonic decay constants that correspond to the situation studied on the lattice. Comparing the energy level spectrum and 
flavor decompositions of the individual states, itis found that the lowest two states extracted from lattice QCD can be identified with one of the two (1405)-poles and the (1670) resonance. The quark mass dependences of these two lattice QCD levels are in good agreement with their effective theory counterparts.
