The return of the prodigal Goldstone boson

We propose that the mass of the \eta^\prime meson is a particularly sensitive probe of the properties of finite energy density hadronic matter and quark gluon plasma. We argue that the mass of the \eta^\prime excitation in hot and dense matter should be small, and therefore that the \eta^\prime prod...

description We propose that the mass of the \eta^\prime meson is a particularly sensitive probe of the properties of finite energy density hadronic matter and quark gluon plasma. We argue that the mass of the \eta^\prime excitation in hot and dense matter should be small, and therefore that the \eta^\prime production cross section should be much increased relative to that for pp collisions. This may have observable consequences in dilepton and diphoton experiments.
