{phi} and {omega} production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in a dynamical quark coalescence model
Abstract
Based on the phase-space information obtained from a multiphase transport model within the string-melting scenario for strange and antistrange quarks, we study the yields and transverse-momentum spectra of {phi} mesons and {omega} ({omega}{sup -}+{omega}{sup +}) baryons and their anisotropic flows in Au + Au collisions at RHIC using a dynamical quark coalescence model that includes the effect from quark phase-space distributions inside hadrons. With current quark masses and fixing the {phi} and {omega} radii from fitting measured yields, we first study the ratio of the yield of {omega} baryons to that of {phi} mesons as well as their elliptic and fourth-order flows as functions of their transverse momentum. How the elliptic and fourth-order flows of {phi} mesons and {omega} baryons are related to those of strange and antistrange quarks is then examined. The dependence of these results on {phi} and {omega} radii as well as on the strange quark mass is also studied.

We report the results on the transverse momentum spectra of {phi} mesons and {omega} ({omega}- + {omega}(bar sign)+) baryons as well as their anisotropic flows in Au+Au collisions at RHIC, obtained from a dynamical quark coalescence model that uses the quark phase-space information from a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model within the string melting scenario and includes the quark structure of hadrons.

Productions of hadrons, pentaquarks {theta}{sup +} and {theta}{sup *++}, and di-baryon ({omega}{omega}){sub 0{sup +}} in relativistic heavy ion collisions by a quark combination model
The hadron production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is well described by the quark combination model. The mixed ratios for various hadrons and the transverse momentum spectra for long-life hadrons are predicted and agree with recent Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider data. The production rates for the pentaquarks {theta}{sup +} and {theta}{sup *++} and the di-baryon ({omega}{omega}){sub 0{sup +}} are estimated, neglecting the effect from the transition amplitude for constituent quarks to form an exotic state. -
Quark model of {phi} coalescence from kaons in heavy-ion reactions
A quark model of kaon coalescence is developed which involves annihilation of the nonstrange quark pair in the process of forming a {phi} particle. Comparison is made with data on {phi} production with Si + Au collisions at the alternating-gradient synchrotron. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.} -
Measurements of {phi} meson production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the BNL relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC).
We present results for the measurement of {phi} meson production via its charged kaon decay channel {phi} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -} in Au+Au collisions at {radical}S{sub NN} = 62.4, 130, and 200 GeV, and in p+p and d+Au collisions at {radical}s{sub NN} = 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) {phi} meson transverse momentum (p{sub T}) spectra in central Au+Au collisions are found to be well described by a single exponential distribution. On the other hand, the p{sub T} spectra from p+p, d+Au, and peripheral Au+Au collisions showmore » -
