SummaryWe have observed the excess over the known hadronic sources at the low-mass side of . Obtained ratio indicates that the excess is mainly due to the modification of .We also observed the excess at the low-mass side of , only at the low region of Cu data.The data were well reproduced by the model calculation based on the mass modification. The fit results show that; : the massdecreases by 9% at .:the mass decreases by 3%, and the width increases by a factor of 3.6 at .
The mass modification is not statistically significant for the K+K- invariant mass distributions.The observed nuclear mass-number dependences of e+e- and K+K- are consistent. – We have obtained limits on the in-medium decay width broadenings
for both the e+e- and K+K- decay channels.
