  2. pT spectra and kinetic freeze-outof particles . • Investigation of strange particle yields and ratios. • Study of resonances (thermal vs chemical freeze-outs ) • Comparison of RHIC and SPS yields • Strangeness enhancement (Energy dependence & source type) • RAA comparison with RCP and RdAu • Investigation of strangeness ordering. • Is there a scaling in Au+Au production for the strangequarks? N Participants vs N Binary ? Outline

  4. Tkinetic vs Transverse velocity (<T>) 0.13 Most Central Collisions • Temperature Tkinetic is higher for baryons with higher strange quark content for Blast-wave fits. • Spectral shapes are different. T=100 MeV T=132 MeV • p,K, p <T> at 200 GeV > 62 GeV Tkin at 200 GeV =62 GeV • X, W <T> at 200 GeV = 62 GeV Tkin at 200 GeV >62 GeV Tkinetic from a Blast-Wave is not same as the Temperature from a Hydro Model. QM Poster: J.Speltz

  5. STAR Preliminary STAR Preliminary Strange Baryon Production and Collision Energy… Au+Au Pb+Pb STAR Preliminary • s-Baryon production is ~constant at mid-rapidity. • s-Baryon rises smoothly at mid-rapidity. • s-Baryon production equals s-Baryon at RHIC Energies! • s-Baryon Resonance follow the same trend. QM Poster: M.Munhoz&J.Takahashi

  6. S*/L independent of system size at 200 GeV and equal to p+p values at lower energies. Strange ParticleRatios vs System Size L/L ratios are approximately independent of the system size at RHIC energies. Re-scattering and regeneration is needed ! Dt > 0, constant for different centralities! Regeneration σ(K*) > σ(L*) QM Poster: C Markert, D. Mishra

  7. System Size Dependence at 200 GeV Redlich et al. L and X yields in AuAurelative to pp rises. Canonical suppression increases with increasing strangeness L and X arenot flat Correlation volume not well modelled by Npart Is the scaling more important than normalization ?

  8. s-Quarks Have Different Scaling! Scaling according to quark content? u, d – scale with Npart – already observed. s – scale with Nbin – appears better for strange particles. Normalized to central data • K0s – 1/2*Npart + 1/2*Nbin • p – Npart • L – 2/3*Npart + 1/3*Nbin • – 1/3*Npart + 2/3*Nbin • f – Nbin • W – Nbin Does strangeness “see” a significant NBin contribution? Npart f is puzzling! QM Poster: H. Caines

  9. Nuclear Modification Factor Rcp √sNN=62 GeV 0-5% 40-60% 0-5% 40-60% √sNN=200 GeV Y-4 L,K0s Baryon and meson suppression sets in at different pT . 62 GeV Rcp shows less suppression. Baryons and mesons are different ! QM Poster: M.Lamont

  10. Nuclear Modification Factor Rcp 0-5% 40-60% 0-5% 40-60% √sNN=200 GeV Au+Au √sNN=200 GeV Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 (2004) 052302 STAR Preliminary Au+Au √sNN=62 GeV Baryon and meson suppression sets in at same quark pT . √sNN=200 GeV Y-4 L,K0s Baryon and meson suppression sets in at different pT . Coalescence vs Fragmentation?

  11. RAA of Strange Particles 0-5% 0-5% Au+Au p+p Au+Au p+p Au+Au p+p STAR Preliminary STAR Preliminary √sNN=200 GeV √sNN=200 GeV s-quarks scaled with NBin u&d-quarks scaled with Npart f scaled with N Part • s-quarks scaled with NBin • u&d-quarks scaled with Npart • scaled with N Bin Mesons (h+ + h-, K0s, f) follow similar trends. Strange baryons don’t show suppression. Rcp  Raa for strange baryons. Canonical suppression in p+p …? 0-5% STAR Preliminary STAR Preliminary s-quark Ordering with strangeness content! √sNN=200 GeV Particles with strange quarks scale differently than non-strange!

  12. Does entropy drive the strangeness yield? Enhancements are the same or even bigger at RHIC than at SPS ! Is there a universal scaling? Instead of Npart  dNch/dη Correlated to the entropy of the system! SPS and RHIC data follows same curves…

  13. Summary and Conclusions • Transverse velocity T increases with collision energy. TFO(X) > TFO (p) from Blast-wave but TFO(X) = TFO (p) from Hydro • s-Baryon production equals that of s-Baryon at RHIC energies. • Baryon transport is ~ independent of system size at RHIC energies. • Rescattering and regeneration are required to model resonance production. Cross-sections and lifetimes vary (K* vs L*). Dt > 0 between chemical and thermal freezeout for all centralities. • RAA different than RCP - canonical suppression is beinginvestigated in RAA andRdAu . Coalescence can explain the meson baryon difference at 62 GeV collisions too. • Particles with s-quarks appear to scale differently than non-s quarks. Maybe s-quarks “see“ a different correlation volume than light quarks? • Yields scale with dNch/dh for SPS and RHIC (universal scaling?)
