Kaon Fragmentation Function and $K/\pi$ Ratios in Nuclear Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

An improved leading order fragmentation functions set of kaon is proposed based on the experimental data. We compare it with currently available sets, and use it to calculate high-pTp_T K/πK/\pi ratios in relativistic proton-proton collisions. A prediction of K/πK/\pi ratios in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions (d+Aud + Au and Au+AuAu + Au) at RHIC s=200\sqrt{s} = 200 GeV is given.
