Strange Particle Production and s - quark Asymmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
Using hadronic 2° decays recorded by the SLD experiment at SLAC, we have studied the production of strange particles as a function of momentum. A high-purity sample of K ~ was tagged using Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector(CRID). The #, A and K. were reconstructed in the K+ K-, pm and ~+ T – modes respectively, and CRID identification of K+ and p was used to obtain pure samples of@ and A. We have used the high electron-beam polarisation delivered by the SLC to measure the left-right forward-backward production asymmetries of these particles, and discuss the relationship of these quantities to the underlying strange quark asymmetry in 2° decays.

We reconsider thermal conditions of the central fireball presumed to be the source of abundantly produced strange (anti-)baryons in S → W collisions at 200 GeV A. We show that it is possible to completely fix the freeze-out temperature of strange particles in terms of the central rapidity kaon to Lambda particle abundance ratio at fixed, high transverse mass using a non-equilibrium hadronizatio...
متن کاملAsymmetry in Photoproduction
Considering of the possible difference in strange and antistrange quark distributions inside nucleon, we investigate the D s −D − s asymmetry in photoproduction in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. We adopt two distribution models of strange sea, those are the light-cone mesonbaryon fluctuation model and the effective chiral quark model. Our results show that the asymmetry i...
متن کاملNeutrino-production of Charm and the Strangeness Asymmetry of the the Nucleon
Interest in the strange nucleon sea has been renewed when it was realized that the strangeness asymmetry s− = s − s̄ plays a prominent role in the interpretation of the NuTeV weak mixing angle anomaly. I review the NLO QCD calculation of the neutrino-production of opposite-sign dimuons as the experimental signature of the strange quark parton density. Results from a recent CTEQ fit are presented...

متن کاملA chiral theory of light-flavor sea-quark distributions in the nucleon
Theoretical predictions are given for the light-flavor sea-quark distributions including the strange quark ones on the basis of the flavor SU(3) version of the chiral quark soliton model. Careful account is taken here of the SU(3) symmetry breaking effects due to the mass difference between the strange and nonstrange quarks. This effective mass difference ∆ms between the strange and nonstrange ...
