Absorption of theωandϕMesons in Nuclei

Abstract: Because of their long lifetimes, the ω and ϕ mesons are the ideal candidates for the study of possible modifications of the in-medium meson-nucleon interaction through their absorption inside the nucleus. During the E01-112 experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, the mesons were photoproduced from 2H, C, Ti, Fe, and Pb targets. This Letter reports the first measurement of the ratio of nuclear transparencies for the e+e- channel. The ratios indicate larger in-medium widths compared wit… Show more

“…The SPring-8 [15] and JLab [16] results are consistent with the JLab measurements of coherent [7] and incoherent [22] φ photoproduction from deuterium. The coherent data suggest that σ φN ≈ 30 mb together with a larger slope for elastic φN scattering compared to γ N → φN [7].…”

“…Whereas medium modifications of σ φN might offer a plausible explanation of the SPring-8 [15] and JLab [16] data, they can hardly account for the large value found in deuterium. Nuclear density effects are here minimal and other mechanisms, beyond medium modifications, could be more important [22].…”
