On the determination of the D meson width in the nuclear medium with the transparency ratio
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We have studied the feasibility of the experimental determination of the width of a D meson in a nuclear medium by using the method of the nuclear transparency. The cross section for inclusive production of a in different nuclei is evaluated, taking care of the absorption in the nucleus, or equivalently, the survival probability of the in its way out of the nucleus from the point of production. We use present values of the in medium width of D mesons and calculate ratios of the cross sections for different nuclei to the nucleus as reference. We find ratios of the order of 0.6 for heavy nuclei , a large deviation from unity, which indicates that the method proposed is adequate to measure this relevant magnitude, so far only known theoretically.
