Light D-wave axial-tensor K2(1820) meson at finite temperature

Abstract

In this work the properties of the axial-tensor K-2(1820) meson in a hot medium are investigated. The mass and the decay constant of this state are calculated via thermal QCD sum rules considering QCD condensates up to dimension five. Our analysis show that both mass and decay constant stay almost monotonous up to certain temperatures and then they diminish with increasing temperature. The mass and decay constant estimated at zero temperature are in good agreement with the present experimental data and theoretical estimations.
