Strange particle production in p + p collisions at
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present measurements of the transverse momentum spectra for K 0 S , Λ, Ξ and their antiparticles in p+p collisions at √ s = 200GeV. The extracted mid-rapidity yields and p T are in agreement with previous p + ¯ p experiments while they have smaller statistical errors. We further show a dependence of the p T with event multiplicity and infer that this is consistent with a mini-jet dominated particle production mechanism. We then compare the measured spectra for K 0 S and Λ to the latest available calculations from NLO pQCD and see good agreement for the K 0 S above 1.5 GeV/c.

O ct 2 00 4 Strange particle production in 158 and 40 A GeV / c Pb - Pb and p - Be collisions
Results on strange particle production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 and 40 A GeV/c beam momentum from the NA57 experiment at CERN SPS are presented. Particle yields and ratios are compared with those measured at RHIC. Strangeness enhancements with respect to p-Be reactions at the same beam momenta have been also measured: results about their dependence on centrality and collision energy are repor...

We present results on strange particle production in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV. We discuss the nuclear modification factors (R CP) and ratios of particle yields in order to investigate the range of anomalous baryon production. The medium modification of the fragmentation process is further explored by studying azimuthal correlations at intermediate-p T for K 0 S , Λ an...
متن کاملStatistical Models and STAR’s Strange Data
The yields of strange hadrons have been measured as a function of centrality in Au + Au and in p + p collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV in STAR. The system size and energy dependence are studied and compared for p+p and Au + Au collisions. Thermal models are fitted to the ratios of various strange particles to investigate the particle production and to determine the strangeness enhancement. The temp...

We present measurements of the transverse momentum spectra, yield and p T systematics for K 0 S , Λ and ¯ Λ in p + p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. We show a dependence of the p T with event multiplicity and infer that this is consistent with a mini-jet dominated particle production mechanism. These observations are compared to available data from p + ¯ p experiments as well as to pQCD theoretica...
متن کاملUsing strange hadrons as probes of dense matter
The spectra of strange hadrons have been measured in detail as a function of centrality for a variety of collision systems and energies at RHIC. Recent results are presented and compared to those measured at the SPS. The effects of the system size on strange particle production and kinematics are examined. I place specific emphasis on comparing A-A to p-p production and discuss how strangeness ...

Neutral strange particle production at mid unit rapidity in p + p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV Abstract We briefly discuss the methods of analysing reconstructed neutral strange particles in p + p collision data measured at √ s = 200 GeV taken using the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) detector. We present spectra for K 0 S , Λ and Λ as a function of pT and multiplicity, and compare to previous...
