Production of {phi} mesons in central {sup 28}Si+{sup 197}Au collisions at 14.6 A. GeV/c.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.
Production of the {phi} meson in central Si+Au collisions has been measured by E859 at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron by selecting events with identified K{sup +}K{sup -} pairs. The mass and width of the {phi}, obtained from the invariant mass distribution of kaon pairs, are consistent with those of free f mesons. The transverse mass and rapidity distributions are presented. The inverse slope parameter for an exponential fit to the invariant transverse mass distribution is 179{+-}10{+-}17 MeV.
