Title: Measurement of the in-medium Φ-meson width in proton–nucleus collisions

Abstract

We measured the production of Φ mesons in the collisions of 2.83 GeV protons with C, Cu, Ag, and Au at forward angles via the Φ → K+K- decay using the COSY-ANKE magnetic spectrometer. The Φ meson production cross section follows a target mass dependence of A0.56±0.02 in the momentum region of 0.6-1.6 GeV/c. Moreover, the comparison of the data with model calculations suggests that the in-medium Φ width is about an order of magnitude larger than its free value.
