RT Book, Section T1 Rho and sigma mesons in unitarized thermal XPT A1 Llanes Estrada, Felipe José A1 Dobado González, Antonio A1 Gómez Nicola, Ángel A1 Peláez Sagredo, José Ramón AB We present our recent results for the rho and sigma mesons considered as resonances in pion-pion scattering in a thermal bath. We use chiral perturbation theory to order p(4) for the low energy behaviour, then extend the analysis via the unitarization method of the Inverse Amplitude into the resonance region. The width of the rho broadens about twice the amount required by phase space considerations alone, its mass staying practically constant up to temperatures of order 150 MeV. The sigma meson behaves in accordance to chiral symmetry restoration expectations.
