Description
In this talk, I will present an overview of recent investigations
into the behavior of hadrons in nuclear matter, with a particular
focus on vector and axial-vector mesons. These mesons serve as especially
sensitive probes for exploring in-medium modifications and are central
to several ongoing experimental programs, including the J-PARC E16
and E88 experiments.
I will begin by reviewing theoretical developments in this area,
encompassing both hadronic effective field theory approaches and
frameworks that incorporate explicit quark and gluon degrees of freedom.
Subsequently, I will discuss recent efforts to bridge theory and
experiment through numerical simulations of the relevant reactions,
employing relativistic transport theory to model the dynamics observed
in experimental settings.
