Role of in-medium hadrons in photon-nucleus reactions : shadowing and dilepton spectrum
We study the effect of in-medium hadronic properties in photon nucleus interactions in the context of shadowing as well as the dilepton spectrum for incident photon energies in the range 1.1- 3 GeV. A reasonable agreement with the experimental data for shadowing is obtained in a scenario of downward spectral shift of the hadrons. We show that distinguishable features for in-medium changes of the hadronic properties can be observed experimentally through the dilepton spectrum by judicious choice of target nuclei and incident energy of photons.
