Hot medium effects on pseudotensor K2(1820) meson

Abstract

The investigation of mesons in hot medium can give valuable information about the nature of QCD vacuum and deconfinement phase transitions. In this study, thermal properties of pseudotensor K2(1820) meson is examined via QCD sum rules at finite temperature. The mass and the decay constant of K2(1820) are estimated up to dimension-five by considering the new operators emerging at finite temperature. It is seen that after a certain temperature, the decay constant and the mass decrease significantly due to the hot medium effects.
