Thermal Properties of Light Tensor Mesons via QCD Sum Rules

الملخص EN

The thermal properties of f2(1270), a2(1320), and K2*(1430) light tensor mesons are investigated in the framework of QCD sum rules at finite temperature.

In particular, the masses and decay constants of the light tensor mesons are calculated taking into account the new operators appearing at finite temperature.

The numerical results show that, at the point at which the temperature-dependent continuum threshold vanishes, the decay constants decrease with amount of (70–85)% compared to their vacuum values, while the masses diminish about (60–72)% depending on the kinds of the mesons under consideration.

The results obtained at zero temperature are in good consistency with the experimental data as well as the existing theoretical predictions.
