Summary & Conclusions

self energy was calculated with 1, 2 and 3-loop effects included spectral function at finite temperature is modified significantly as

compared with the vacuum decay rate at finite temperature was estimated: with in-medium

daughters it increased dramatically

decay lifetime of the is shortened by the hadronic medium m distributions for K K and show different

temperatures and different flow values

mass distributions for K K and have different widths

in the model by a factor of 4-5
