In-medium pion dispersion relation and medium correction of $N\pi \leftrightarrow \Delta$ near the threshold energy of pion production

Abstract

Transport models cannot simultaneously explain very recent data on pion multiplicities and pion charged ratios of Sn+Sn in the reaction at 0.27 A GeV. This stimulates further investigations on the pion dispersion relation, in-medium $N\pi \to \Delta$ cross sections and $\Delta \to N\pi$ decay widths near the threshold energy or at subthreshold energy of pion production in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. In this study, the pion dispersion relation, in-medium $N\pi \to \Delta$ cross section and $\Delta \to N\pi$ decay width near the threshold energy are investigated in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter by using the one-boson-exchange model. With the consideration of the energy conservation effect, the in-medium $N\pi \to \Delta$ cross sections are enhanced at $s^{1/2}<1.11$ GeV in nuclear medium. The prediction of pion multiplicity and ${\pi }^{-}/{\pi }^{+}$ ratios near the threshold energy can be modified if this effect is considered in transport model simulations.
