The production of phi mesons in proton collisions with C, Cu, Ag, and Au targets has been studied via the phi -> K+K- decay at an incident beam energy of 2.83 GeV using the ANKE detector system at COSY. For the first time, the momentum dependence of the nuclear transparency ratio, the in-medium phi width, and the differential cross section for phi meson production at forward angles have been determined for these targets over the momentum range of 0.6 - 1.6 GeV/c. There are indications of a significant momentum dependence in the value of the extracted phi width, which corresponds to an effective phi-N absorption cross section in the range of 14 - 21 mb.

  1. Observation of Strong $\phi$-meson Directed Flow at High Baryon Density

    nucl-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First observation of phi-meson directed flow v1 comparable in magnitude to protons and Lambdas but much larger than K0S, with baryon-like energy dependence at high baryon density.

  2. Polarization dependence of the $\phi$ meson from finite-temperature QCD sum rules

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Finite-temperature QCD sum rules predict momentum-dependent mass increases and growing transverse-longitudinal splitting for the phi meson, driven primarily by dimension-four spin-dependent thermal condensates.
