Properties of the {rho}-meson in dense nuclear matter

Abstract

The properties of {rho}-mesons in dense nuclear matter are studied in a model which satisfies unitarity and current conservation. The important coupling of the {rho}-meson to two pions as well as the strong mixing of pions and delta-nucleon-hole states in nuclear matter are included. The {rho}-meson self energy in nuclear matter is evaluated with in-medium pion propagators and the corresponding vertex corrections required by current conservation. We find that the {rho}-meson width grows drastically with increasing density while its mass remains almost unchanged. (orig.).
