چکیده
A recent paper on energy dependence of strangeness production in A+A and p+p interactions written by Dunlop and Ogilvie [1] indicates that there is a significant misunderstanding about the concept of strangeness enhancement and its role as a signal of Quark Gluon Plasma creation. In this comment we will try to clarify some essential points. PACS numbers: 25.75.Dw, 13.85.Ni, 21.65.+f Typeset using REVTEX

The measured K + /π + ratios from heavy-ion reactions are compared with the K + /π + ratios from p+p reactions over the energy range 2-160 AGeV. The K/π enhancement in heavy-ion reactions is largest at the lower energies, consistent with strangeness production in secondary scattering becoming relatively more important than initial collisions near the kaon production threshold. The enhancement d...
متن کاملUnfactorized versus Factorized Calculations for P) Reactions at Gev Energies Typeset Using Revt E X 1
In the literature, one often finds calculations of (e, ep) reactions at GeV energies using the factorization approach. Factorization implies that the differential cross section can be written as the product of an off-shell electron-proton cross section and a distorted missing momentum distribution. While this factorization appears in the non-relativistic plane wave impulse approximation, it is ...
متن کاملExtending the Higgs Boson Reach at Upgraded Tevatron Typeset Using Revt E X
We study the observability for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Tevatron via the modes p p ! gg ! h ! W W ! ``jj and```. We nd that with c. m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30 fb ?1 the signal may be observable for the mass range of 135 GeV < m h < 180 GeV at a 3 ? 5 statistical level. Taking into account the existing results in the literature, we expect that t...
متن کاملComparison of Copper-61 Radioisotop Production Yield via Reactions of 64Zn(p,α)61Cu, natZn(p,x)61Cu, 61Ni(p,n)61Cu, and natNi(p,x)61Cu in Hospital Cyclotron using TALYS, EMPIRE, and MCNPX Nuclear Codes
Background & Aims: Copper-61 (61Cu) is a radioisotope with a half-life of 3.33 hours which decays to nickel-61 isotope byβ+ emission (61%) or electron capture (39%). This radioisotope can be used in the evaluation of the blood supply of the heart and low-oxygen cancer tissues imaging with PET. 61Cu is mainly produced by bombarding zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) targets in medium cyclot...

Average values of< 1- T >where T is the thrust are presented for e: e: AMY data and are compared with their values in hadronic interactions. As far as possible, similar analysis techniques have been employed in the two different interactions. Similar variation with E is observed for this average in both data. The values of < PT> and < PL > relative to the thrust axis in e e are simila...
