In-medium mass shift of two-flavored heavy mesons, $B_c$, $B_c^{\ast }$, $B_s$, $B_s^{\ast }$, $D_s$ and $D_s^{\ast }$

Abstract

For the first time, we estimate the in-medium mass shift of the two-flavored heavy mesons $B_c,B_c^{\ast },B_s,B_s^{\ast },D_s$ and $D_s^{\ast }$ in symmetric nuclear matter. The estimates are made by evaluating the lowest order one-loop self-energies. The enhanced excitations of intermediate state heavy-light mesons in symmetric nuclear matter are the origin of their negative mass shift. This negative mass shift may be regarded as a signature of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in an empirical sense because the origin of the negative mass shift in the study is not directly related to the chiral symmetry mechanism. Our results show that the magnitude of the mass shift for the $B_c$ meson ($\bar{b}c$ or $b\bar{c}$) is larger than those of the ${\eta }_c(\bar{c}c)$ and ${\eta }_b(\bar{b}b)$, different from a naive expectation that it would be in between them. While, that of the $B_c^{\ast }$ shows the in between of the $J/\psi$ and ${\rm Y}$. We observe that the lighter vector meson excitation in each meson self-energy gives a dominant contribution for the corresponding meson mass shift, $B_c,B_s,$ and $D_s$.
