Pion and kaon dissociation in a medium of hot quark matter is studied in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. The decay widths of pion and kaon are found to be large but finite at temperatures much higher than the so-called critical temperature of chiral or deconfinement transition, kaon decay width being larger. Consequently, pions and even kaons (with a lower density compared to pions) should coexist with quarks and gluons at such high temperatures. The implication of the above result in the study of quark–gluon plasma is discussed.
