Production of {phi} meson in Au+Au collisions at 11.7 A GeV/c.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:11870
First Measurement of {phi} meson production in Au+Au collisions has been conducted by E917 at BNL-AGS via selecting events with identified K{sup +}K{sup {minus}} pairs. Preliminary results on the invariant mass spectra of K{sup +}K{sup {minus}} pairs and the m{sub T} spectra are presented. Also, the inverse slope T, dN/dy, the ratio of {phi}/K{sup {minus}}, ratio of {phi}/K{sup +}K{sup {minus}} and their centrality dependences are extracted in a rapidity range of y = 0.9-1.4. Indications on the possible mechanisms of {phi} production are discussed.
