phi puzzle in heavy-ion collisions at 2 AGeV: how many K^- from phi decays?


phi puzzle in heavy-ion collisions at 2 AGeV: how many K^- from phi decays?

Kämpfer, B.; Kotte, R.; Hartnack, C.; Aichelin, J.

The preliminary experimental data on phi production in the reaction Ni(1.93 AGeV) + Ni point to a puzzling high phi yield which can not be reproduced with present transport codes. We survey the experimental situation and present prospects for dedicated measurements of the phi multiplicities with the $K^+ K^-$ and $e^+ e^-$ channels at HADES and FOPI.

Keywords: Haevy-ion collisions; kaon production; phi mesons
