Abstract
We have studied the decay of the φ meson in nuclear matter by taking into account the renormalization of the K and K mesons in the medium. We separate the contribution of the total width into different reaction channels, K K and KYh, the latter ones associated with the φN→K +Y reactions. We find a total width at normal nuclear matter density of about 22 MeV, considerably larger than the free one.
