Calculations of K+, K- and Phi Production in Near-Threshold Proton-Nucleus Collisions

Barz, H.-W.; Kämpfer, B.; Naumann, L.; Wolf, G.; Zetenyi, M.

K+, K- and phi meson production in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions has been calculated within a BUU transport model. It is shown that the nucleon-hyperon strangeness transfer channel is essential. The role of three-body reactions has been investigated within the medium.
The mass dependence of phi production is predicted to give important information on the in-medium properties of all three mesons.
