Chiral Phase Structure and In-Medium Modifications of Charmed Meson Masses within SU(4) extended Linear-Sigma Models

Nourhan M. Rfeek, Alexandra Friesen, Yuri Kalinovsky +4

We extend the Polyakov-loop-enhanced linear-sigma model to encompass four flavors and utilize it to analyze the light, strange, and charmed meson mass spectrum as it transitions fr…
