Production of phi mesons in subthreshold heavy-ion collisions

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

Within a BUU type transport model we study ϕ\phi meson production in subthreshold Ni+Ni and Ru+Ru reactions. For the first time we included in our model the elementary reaction channels ρ+N,Δϕ+N\rho+N,\Delta \to \phi+N, π+N(1520)ϕ+N\pi+N(1520) \to \phi+N and πρ\pi \rho \to ϕ\phi. In spite of a substantial increase of the ϕ\phi multiplicities by these channels our results stay significantly below the preliminary experimental data.
