چکیده
Results for the π + N → Λ, Σ + K reactions in nuclear matter of Ref. [1] are presented. To evaluate the in-medium modification of the reaction amplitude as a function of the baryonic density we introduce relativistic, mean-field potentials for the initial, final and intermediate mesonic and baryonic states in the resonance model. These vector and scalar potentials were calculated using the quark meson coupling model. Contrary to earlier work which has not allowed for the change of the cross section in medium, we find that the data for kaon production at SIS energies are consistent with a repulsive K +-nucleus potential.

The in-medium modification of nucleon-nucleon (NN) cross sections is investigated by means of particle production in heavy ion collisions (HIC) at intermediate energies. In particular, the density dependence of the inelastic cross sections considerably affects the pion and kaon yields and their rapidity distributions. However, the (π/π)and (K/K)-ratios depend only moderately on the in-medium be...
متن کاملKaon production cross sections from baryon-baryon interactions
In a one-pion plus one-kaon exchange model, we calculate the kaon production cross sections in nucleon-nucleon, nucleon-delta and delta-delta interactions. We find that this model describes reasonably well the experimental data on kaon production in the proton-proton interaction. Near the kaon production threshold, the cross section obtained from this model is smaller than that from the linear ...
متن کاملSeeing phi meson through the dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions
Dilepton spectra from the decay of phi mesons produced in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies (∼ 2 GeV/nucleon) are studied in the relativistic transport model. We include phi mesons produced from baryon-baryon, pion-baryon, and kaon-antikaon collisions. The cross sections for the first two processes are obtained from an one-boson-exchange model, while that for the last process is taken to...

The equation of state and the properties of neutron stars are studied for a phase transition to a charged kaon condensate. We study the mixed phase by using Gibbs condition with comparison to the hitherto applied Maxwell construction. Implications for kaon condensation and for the mass-radius relation of condensed neutron stars are examined. The high density behavior of the equation of state of...
متن کاملKaon flow as a probe of the kaon potential in nuclear medium.
The flow of kaons, i.e., the average kaon transverse momentum as a function of rapidity, and the associated flow parameter in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies is investigated in the relativistic transport model. It is found that the pattern of kaon flow at the final stage is sensitive to the kaon potential used in the model and is thus a useful probe of the kaon potential in a nuclear m...
