Abstract:
The s-wave correlated π\pi-π\pi strength distribution in cold nuclear matter is investigated. The in-medium single pions are renormalized by means of the usual p-wave couplings to nucleons and Δ\Delta's. Two groups of models for the π\pi-π\pi interaction are studied. The first one uses phenomenological models which reproduce the phase shifts but do not respect the soft-pion theorems. With increasing density a strong accumulation of strength in the subhreshold region is observed. Slightly above saturation density there even occurs an instability with respect to s-wave π\pi-π\pi pair condensation. These effects are strongly moderated or disappear altogether if constraints from chiral symmetry are built into the π\pi-π\pi interaction.
