Strange particle production in nuclear collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon

  • Experimental Physics
  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Multiplicities and spectra of strange particles (\(\Lambda ,\bar \Lambda ,K_S^0 ,K^ +\) andK − produced in central32S+S,32S+Ag and32S+Au collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon are presented and compared with data on strange particle production in protonnucleus and nucleon-nucleon interactions. It is shown that strangeness production in32S+Ag collisions is enhanced by a factor of two, similar to that found previously in central32S+S collisions.
