چکیده

The production and the propagation of Kand of K-mesons in heavyion collisions at beam energies of 1 to 2 AGeV have systematically been investigated with the Kaon Spectrometer KaoS at the SIS at the GSI. The ratio of the Kproduction excitation function for Au+Au and for C+C reactions increases with decreasing beam energy, which is expected for a soft nuclear equation-of-state. At 1.5 AGeV a comprehensive study of the Kand of the K-emission as a function of the size of the collision system, of the collision centrality, of the kaon energy, and of the polar emission angle has been performed. The K/K ratio is found to be nearly constant as a function of the collision centrality. The spectral slopes and the polar emission patterns are different for K and for K. These observations indicate that K-mesons decouple earlier from the reaction zone than K-mesons. PACS numbers: 25.75.Dw

We analyse the production and propagation of pions and kaons in heavy-ion reactions from 0.8 – 1.8 A·GeV within a coupled channel transport approach including the kaon production channels BB K. Assuming the hyperon selfenergy to be 2/3 of the nucleon selfenergy we find that all inclusive experimental K + spectra at SIS energies can be reproduced reasonably well without any selfenergies for the ...

The cross section for the production of ω mesons in proton-proton collisions has been measured in a previously unexplored region of incident energies. Cross sections of σ = (7.5± 1.9)μb and σ = (30.8± 3.4) μb (with 20% systematic uncertainties) were extracted at 92 MeV and 173 MeV excess energy, respectively. The angular distribution of the ω at ǫ = 173 MeV is strongly anisotropic, demonstratin...

Using an isospin-dependent transport model for heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate energies, we study the production of light clusters such as deuteron, triton, and He via coalescence of nucleons. We find that both the yields and energy spectra of these light clusters are affected significantly by the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy, with a stiffer ...

We present a calculation of thermal photon production i.e. photons from secondary interactions among particles produced in heavy ion collisions at collider energies. This is done within the framework of hydrodynamics. We take into account the lack of chemical equilibrium in QGP. It turns out that main effects from chemical non-equilibrium composition of QGP, reduction of particle number and inc...
