Abstract

We calculate the width for the omega -> pi pi decay in nuclear matter in a hadronic model including mesons, nucleons and Delta isobars. We find a substantial width of the longitudinally polarized omega modes, reaching ~100MeV for mesons moving suitably fast with respect to the nuclear medium.
