K1(1270) decay in a hot hadronic medium

• Seung-il Nam (Pukyong National University)

Room: Maskawa Hall We investigate the thermal modification of the exclusive decay K1+(1270)→π+π−K+ in a hot hadronic medium using an effective hadronic model with ρ- and K∗-pole contributions. As the temperature increases, the decreasing K1 mass strongly reduces the available three-body phase space, leading to clear distortions in the Dalitz distribution and invariant-mass spectra, as well as a strong suppression of the decay width. We also introduce normalized shape observables to quantify the thermal evolution of the πK and ππ spectra. Our results show that the dominant in-medium effect is kinematic phase-space reduction in the strange axial-vector channel, suggesting that the exclusive K1(1270) decay can serve as a qualitative probe of strange axial-vector dynamics near the pseudocritical region.

Columbia plot, critical point and bound states in dense QCD

• Christian Fischer (University of Giessen, Germany)

Room: Maskawa Hall Converging results from different approaches locate the critical end point (CEP) of QCD at large chemical potential, i.e. in the realm of dense QCD. We summarise recent theoretical results within functional methods on the location of the CEP and its variation under systematic changes of the light and strange quark masses. We furthermore discuss the physics at large chemical potential including the properties of bound states and the possible appearance of interesting new phases.
