In-Medium Pion Valence Distribution Amplitude

Abstract

After a brief review of the quark-based model for nuclear matter, and some pion properties in medium presented in our previous works, we report new results for the pion valence wave function as well as the valence distribution amplitude in medium, which are presented in our recent article. We find that both the in-medium pion valence distribution and the in-medium pion valence wave function, are substantially modified at normal nuclear matter density, due to the reduction in the pion decay constant.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figures, one paragraph added, typos corrected, to be published in the proceedings of "Light Cone 2016", September 5-8, 2016, Lisbon, Portuga
