Vector-meson properties in a data-driven AdS/QCD model

RESUMO

We investigate the properties of $\rho$, $\psi$, and $\Upsilon$ mesons within a holographic AdS/QCD framework, capturing both their vacuum phenomenology and in-medium dynamics. By reconstructing flavor-specific gauge kinetic functions within a model originally developed to study thermodynamic functions, we compute the vector-meson mass spectrum, the decay constants and the hadronic vacuum polarization contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon at zero temperature. Furthermore, we evaluate the thermal spectral functions to analyze mass shifts, resonance broadening, and the melting of vector bound states in a hot and dense medium. Finally, using the Kubo formula, we extract the electrical conductivity of the plasma as a function of temperature and chemical potential.
