Medium modification of singly heavy baryons in a pion-mean field approach

Abstract

We investigate how the masses of singly heavy baryons undergo changes in nuclear matter. The mass spectrum of the singly heavy baryons was successfully described in a pion-mean field approach even with isospin symmetry breaking, based on which we extend the investigation to the medium modification of the singly heavy baryons. Since all dynamical parameters were determined by explaining the mass spectrum of the SU(3) light and singly heavy baryons in free space, we can directly implement the density-dependent functionals for the dynamical parameters, of which the density dependence was already fixed by reproducing the bulk properties of nuclear matter and medium modification of the SU(3) light baryons. We predict and discuss the density dependence of the masses of the singly heavy baryons.
