phi decay in nuclei

Description

We have studied the decay of the phi meson in nuclear matter by taking into account the renormalization of the K and Kbar mesons in the medium. We separate the contribution of the total width into different reaction channels, KKbar and KYh, the latter ones associated with the phiN→K+Y reactions. We find a total width at normal nuclear matter density of about 22 MeV, considerably larger than the free one
