Open strange meson $K_1^{\pm }$ in hot and dense nuclear matter

Abstract

Using the unification of the chiral SU(3) model and QCD sum rules, we deduce the in-medium properties of $K_1^{\pm }$ meson. Within the chiral SU(3) model, medium modified gluon and quark condensates are evaluated through their interactions with the scalar fields ($\sigma$, $\zeta$, $\delta$, and $\chi$). These condensates are further used as input in the Borel transformed equations of QCD sum rules to evaluate the in-medium mass of strange $K_1^{\pm }$ meson. The in-medium property of the above meson can be used to study the restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear matter.
