Abstract
We study the temperature evolution of the rho and sigma mass and width, using a unitary chiral approach. The one-loop pipi scattering amplitude in chiral perturbation theory at Tnot equal0 is unitarized via the inverse amplitude method. Our results predict a clear increase with T of both the rho and sigma widths. The masses decrease slightly for high T, while the rhopipi coupling increases. The rho behavior seems to be favored by experimental results. In the sigma case, it signals chiral symmetry restoration.

32. In the notation of Ref [15], Δ J_0^3 (2) and Δ J_0,2^tu (tu) correspond t Δ J_0 (√(s,) ,0) and ΔJ_0,2 (0, √(-t ) ) respectively.
33. Remember that t(s,x) =(x - 1) (s – 4 mm_π^2 ) / 2 , u(s, x) = t (s – x ) with x being the cosine of the scattering angle.
34. For s<0 there is always a finite region in x = [-1 , 1] such that t,u(s,x)>4 m_π^2
