Squeezed spectra of bosons and antibosons with different in-medium masses

Abstract

In this paper, we study the influence of the in-medium mass difference between boson and antiboson on their spectra. The in-medium mass difference may lead to a difference between the transverse momentum spectra of boson and antiboson. This effect increases with the increasing in-medium mass difference between boson and antiboson. The difference between the transverse momentum spectra of boson and antiboson increases with the increasing expanding velocity of the source and decreases with the increasing transverse momentum in large transverse mass region ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GeV). The interactions between the hadron and the medium may increase with the increasing temperature of the medium and the higher freeze-out temperature may lead to a larger mass difference between boson and antiboson, and may give rise to a larger difference between the transverse momentum spectra of boson and antiboson for higher freeze-out temperature.
