In-Medium \(\varvec{\rho }\)-Meson Properties in a Light-Front Approach

Properties of \(\rho \)-meson in symmetric nuclear matter are investigated within a light-front constituent quark model (LFCQM), using the in-medium input calculated by the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The LFCQM used here was previously applied in vacuum to calculate the \(\rho \)-meson electromagnetic properties, namely, charge \(G_{0}\), magnetic \(G_{1}\), and quadrupole \(G_{2}\) form factors, as well as the electromagnetic radius and decay constant. We predict the in-medium modifications of the \(\rho \)-meson electromagnetic form factors in symmetric nuclear matter.
