Abstract:
We propose a simple meson-exchange model of the photoproduction of - and -mesons off protons near threshold ( less than 2 GeV). This model provides a good description of the available data and implies a large -nucleon interaction in the scalar channel (-exchange). We use this phenomenological interaction to estimate the leading contribution to the self-energy of -mesons in matter. The implications of our calculation for experimental studies of the -meson mass in nuclei are discussed.Note:
