Strangeness in STAR at RHIC
Abstract
We present the recent results of strangeness production at the mid-rapidity in Au + Au collisions at RHIC, from = 7.7 to 200 GeV. The of multi-strange baryon and mesons are similar to that of pions and protons in the intermediate range (2 - 5 GeV/) in = 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 mesons and protons in the low range ( 1 GeV/) is consistent with a picture that mesons are less sensitive to later hadronic interaction. The nuclear modification factor 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.
