我们在非相对论有效场论框架内，计算由π介子气体诱导的Δ⁺⁺共振的热宽度偏移。通过包含中间质子和Δ态的π介子前向散射图，结合热π介子分布，计算Δ⁺⁺的自能。自能虚部的解析表达式给出了与温度相关的宽度修正δΓ(T)。宽度随温度升高而增大，在T≈160 MeV时达到约6 MeV。当纳入NJL模型手征恢复场景中与温度相关的Δ和核子质量时，宽度偏移呈现非单调特性，在T≈140 MeV处达到峰值——这是碰撞展宽与Δ→Nπ相空间收缩相互竞争的结果，而N-Δ质量间隙随温度升高而缩小。将我们的形式主义应用于√s_NN=200 GeV的d+Au碰撞中Δ⁺⁺的STAR实验数据，在p_t=900 MeV时提取出温度T≈300 MeV，该值在误差范围内与实验提取结果一致，且显著强于强子相温度，明确表明观测到的Δ⁺⁺宽度偏移并非仅源于π介子气体，真正的热介质和集体流贡献必然占重要比重。
英文摘要
We compute the thermal width shift of the $Δ^{++}$ resonance induced by a pion gas within a nonrelativistic effective field theory framework. The $Δ^{++}$ self-energy is evaluated from pion-forward-scattering diagrams with intermediate proton and $Δ$ states, weighted by the thermal pion distribution. Analytical expressions for the imaginary part of the self-energy yield the temperature-dependent width correction $δΓ(T)$. The width increases with temperature, reaching approximately $6$~MeV at $T \approx 160$~MeV. When the temperature-dependent $Δ$ and nucleon masses from an NJL-model chiral restoration scenario are incorporated, the width shift becomes non-monotonic, peaking near $T \approx 140$~MeV---a consequence of the competition between collisional broadening and the shrinking $Δ\to Nπ$ phase space as the $N$--$Δ$ mass gap closes. Applying our formalism to STAR data for $Δ^{++}$ in d+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$~GeV, we extract a temperature $T \approx 300$~MeV at $p_t = 900$~MeV, consistent with the experimental extraction within errors. This value significantly exceeds the hadronic-phase temperature, explicitly demonstrating that the observed $Δ^{++}$ width shift is not solely of pion-gas origin---genuine hot-medium and collective-flow contributions must be substantial.
