Modifications of Hadrons in the Nuclear Medium

  • 1. University of South Carolina, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Columbia, SC 29208 (United States)

Description

The high-energy and short-distances regime of the strong interaction is successfully described by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) involving quark and gluon degrees of freedom. In the low-energy and large-distances regime, QCD-inspired effective models are needed to describe the observed phenomena. These models predict a modification of the properties of hadrons in nuclear matter from their free-space values. A review of the theoretical and experimental approach to the in-medium modifications of light hadrons will be given.
