Strangeness in STAR at RHIC

Nuclear Experiment 2017-02-15 v1

Abstract

We present the recent results of strangeness production at the mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at RHIC, from sNN\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 7.7 to 200 GeV. The v2v_2 of multi-strange baryon Ω\Omega and ϕ\phi mesons are similar to that of pions and protons in the intermediate pTp_T range (2 - 5 GeV/cc) in sNN\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 200 GeV Au + Au collisions, indicating that the major part of collective flow has been built up at partonic stage. The breaking of mass ordering between ϕ\phi mesons and protons in the low pTp_T range (<< 1 GeV/cc) is consistent with a picture that ϕ\phi mesons are less sensitive to later hadronic interaction. The nuclear modification factor RCPR_{\rm CP} and baryon to meson ratio change dramatically when the collision energy is lower than 19.6 GeV. It suggests a possible change of medium property of the system compared to those from high energies.
