Heavy Hadrons in Dense Matter

TL;DR

This paper investigates the behavior of heavy-quark baryon resonances in dense matter using a unitarized coupled-channel approach, exploring their implications for charmed nuclei formation and heavy meson propagation in heavy-ion collisions.

Contribution

It introduces a heavy-quark spin symmetry-consistent model for baryon resonances in dense matter, extending previous studies to include heavy-quark effects.

Findings

Heavy-quark baryon resonances are modified in dense matter.

Potential formation of charmed mesic nuclei is analyzed.

Impacts on heavy meson propagation in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract

We study the behavior of dynamically-generated baryon resonances with heavy-quark content within a unitarized coupled-channel theory in matter that fulfills heavy-quark spin symmetry constraints. We analyze the implications for the formation of charmed mesic nuclei and the propagation of heavy mesons in heavy-ion collisions from RHIC to FAIR.
