We explore how the–mixing angle and themeson decay intoand 3are modified in the nuclear medium on the basis of the in-medium chiral effective theory with varying isospin asymmetry, wherewithand. We find that the larger the isospin asymmetryand the smaller the total density, the more enhanced the mixing angle. We show that the decay width in the nuclear medium has an additional density dependence that cannot be renormalized into that of the mixing angle: The additional term originates from the vertex proportional to a low-energy constant, which only comes into play in the nuclear medium but not in free space. It turns out that the resultant density effect on the decay widths overwhelms that coming from the isospin asymmetry, and the higher the, the more enhanced the decay widths; the width for thedecay is enhanced by a factor of two to three at the normal densitywith a minor increase due to, while that for thedecay shows only a small increase of around 10% even at. We mention the possible relevance of the partial restoration of chiral symmetry to the unexpected density effect on the decay widths in the nuclear medium.
