The in-medium (K) over bar *N interaction accounts for Pauli blocking effects and incorporates the (K) over bar* self-energy in a self-consistent manner. We also obtain the (K) over bar* (off-shell) spectral function and analyze its behavior at finite density and momentum. At a normal nuclear matter density, the (K) over bar* meson feels a moderately attractive potential, while the (K) over bar* width becomes five times larger than in free space. We estimate the transparency ratio of the gamma A -> K+K*(-) A{\textquoteleft} reaction, which we propose as a feasible scenario at the present facilities to detect changes in the properties of the (K) over bar* meson in nuclear medium.", optnote="ISI:000283648400011", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=335), last updated on Wed, 16 Mar 2011 00:17:39 +0000", issn="0556-2813", doi="10.1103/PhysRevC.82.045210", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1006.3454", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.82.045210", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1006.3454", language="English" }
