Abstract

Production of the (anti)hypertriton nuclei Λ3H\rm ^3_{\Lambda}H and Λ3H\rm ^3_{\overline \Lambda}\overline H in Cu+Cu interactions at sNN=200\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=200GeV is studied at three centrality bins of 0-10\%, 10-30\% and 30-60\% using the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model together with [PACIAE] model simulations. The 3H(3H)\rm ^3H(^3\overline H) and 3He(3He)\rm ^3He(^3\overline {He}) nuclei has been compared. It is indicated by the study that the yields of light nuclei and hypernuclei increase rapidly from peripheral to central collisions while their anti-particle to particle ratios keep unchanged for different centrality bins. The strangeness population factor S3=Λ3H/(3He×Λ/p)S_3=\rm{{^3_{\Lambda}H}/({^3{He}}\times \Lambda/p)} was found to be close to unity, and was compatible with the STAR data and theoretical model calculation, suggesting that the phase-space population of strange quarks is similar with the ones of light quarks and the creation of deconfined high temperature quark matter in Cu+Cu collisions.
