We emphasize that the U_A(1) anomaly effects causes the eta'-eta mass difference necessarily through the chiral symmetry breaking. As a consequence, the eta' mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV in nuclear matter where about 30% reduction of chiral symmetry takes place. The strong attraction relating to the eta' mass generation eventually implies that there should be also a strong attractive interaction in the scalar channel of the eta'-N two-body system. We find that the attraction can be strong enough to form a bound state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-12-13T09:14:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chiral symmetry", "nuclear medium", "partial restoration", "mass generation eventually implies", "in-medium modification" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
