Nuclear bound state of eta'(958) and partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the eta' mass

Abstract: (arXiv)
The in-medium mass of the meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The reduction is a consequence of the suppression of the anomaly effect on the mass induced by partial restoration of chiral symmetry. This strong attraction in nuclear systems does not accompany large absorption of into nuclear matter. This leads to the possibility of so narrow bound states of the meson in nuclei to be seen in hadronic reactions with light nuclear targets.Note:
