Acceptance and count rate estimates for experiments on subthreshold Phi meson production in central collisions of C + C at 2 AGeV

Monte-Carlo estimates of the subthreshold Phi meson production are performed for the reaction ¹²C + ¹²C at 2 AGeV assuming the Phi's to be emitted isotropically and distributed thermally in the center-of-mass system of the colliding nuclei. Different scenarios involving the detector installations FOPI and HADES at SIS/GSI are considered to determine the expected yields of Phi(1020) mesons identified via the K⁺K^- and e⁺e^- decay channels.
