Strangeness Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions at STAR

Nuclear Experiment 2019-08-13 v2

Abstract

We report an overview of strangeness production in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at the energies sNN=\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 62.4 and 200 GeV. We show new mid-rapidly dN/dydN/dy results for the KS0K^{0}_{S}, Λ\Lambda, Ξ\Xi, Ω\Omega particles in Cu+Cu \sNN{62} collisions and compare to results in Au+Au \sNN{62} collisions. We show new results for mid-pTp_T Λ/KS0\Lambda/K^{0}_{S} ratios in Cu+Cu \sNN{62} collisions and again compare to ratios in Au+Au \sNN{62} collisions. Finally, we show the high-pTp_{T} (6.2\sim 6.2 GeV/c) RAA(KS0)R_{AA}(K^{0}_{S}) as a function of system size in Au+Au \sNN{200} collisions and compare to RAA(π)R_{AA}(\pi).
