Antilambda production in Au+Au collisions at 11.7A GeV/c.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results for antilambda and antiproton production in Au+Au collisions at 11.7 A GeV/c including spectra and extracted invariant yields for both species in central and peripheral collisions in the rapidity range 1.0<y<1.4. The antilambda yield increases from dN(Lambda;)/dy = 1.2(+0.7+0.2)(-0.6-0.2)x10(-3) in peripheral collisions to 19(+4+3)(-5-2)x10(-3) in central collisions. The direct antiproton yield is deduced from the measured total antiproton spectra to extract the ratio of antilambda-to-direct-antiproton production. The Lambda/p ratio near midrapidity increases from 0.26(+0.19+0.5)(-0.15-0.4) in peripheral collisions to 3.6(+4.7+2.7)(-1.8-1.1) in central collisions, a value larger than current theoretical estimates.

New Insight into Antiproton Production and Reabsorption Using Proton-Nucleus Collisions at the AGS
Antiproton (p̄) yields are presented for proton-nucleus collisions, with targets Be, Cu, and Au, at beam momenta of 12.3 and 17.5 GeV/c. In addition to target size and beam momentum, the number of projectile collisions ν, as derived from the number of “grey” tracks (slow protons and deuterons), is used to disentangle the p̄ reabsorption from the production. By quantifying the amount of reabsorpti...
متن کاملHeavy Flavor Production at STAR
We present measurements on D meson production via direct reconstruction of its hadronic decay channel D → Kπ in minimum bias d+Au and Au+Au collisions at √ sNN=200 GeV with pT up to ∼3 GeV/c. Non-photonic electron spectra from the charm semi-leptonic decays are analyzed from the same data set as well as in p+p collision at √ s=200 GeV using the STAR Time-of-Flight (TOF) and Barrel EMC (BEMC) de...

We present high transverse momentum (p T) measurements made at the Relativis-tic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV, as well as for Au+Au collisions at √ s N N = 62 GeV. We observe a suppression in the yield of high p T hadrons measured in central Au+Au collisions, relative to the yield in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucl...

متن کاملEnhanced Direct Photon Production in Au + Au Collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV in PHENIX
The production of electron pairs with p T between 1 and 5 GeV/c and m < 300 MeV has been measured at mid-rapidity in √ s N N = 200 GeV p + p and Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. A significant excess above the hadronic background was observed in both p + p and Au+Au collisions. Treating the excess as internal conversion of direct photons, the direct photon yield in Au+Au was fo...
