Chiral symmetry and strangeness at SIS energies
نویسنده
چکیده
In this talk we review the consequences of the chiral SU(3) symmetry for strangeness propagation in nuclear matter. Objects of crucial importance are the meson-baryon scattering amplitudes obtained within the chiral coupled-channel effective field theory. Results for antikaon and hyperonresonance spectral functions in cold nuclear matter are presented and discussed. The importance of the Σ(1385) resonance for the subthreshold antikaon production in heavy-ion reaction at SIS is pointed out. The in-medium properties of the latter together with an antikaon spectral function based on chiral SU(3) dynamics suggest a significant enhancement of the πΛ → K̄ N reaction in nuclear matter.

Results from FOPI on strangeness production and propagation at SIS energies
Heavy ion collisions at SIS energies (1-2 AGeV) offer an unique tool to probe the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter. In particular, the partial restoration of chiral symmetry is predicted to lead in this energy range to in-medium modifications of hadron properties. Strange particle production below or close to the threshold energy is a useful probe to investigate these in-medium effect...
متن کاملStrangeness Production in the HSD Transport Approach from SIS to SPS
We study systematically the production of strangeness in nuclear reactions from SIS to SPS energies within the covariant hadronic transport approach HSD. Whereas the proton and pion rapidity distributions as well as pion transverse momentum spectra are well described in the hadronic transport model from 2-200 A·GeV, the K+ and K− spectra are noticeably underestimated at AGS energies while the K...

The properties ofK andK mesons are studied in nuclear reactions from SIS to RHIC energies within the covariant transport approach HSD in comparison to the experimental data whenever available. Whereas kaon abundancies and spectra indicate little repulsive or vanishing selfenergies in the medium, antikaons are found to experience strong attractive potentials in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SIS ...
