First look at d+Au Data (1385) (1530) (1520)
Summary + Future Plans • Measure (1520) ,(1385) ((1530)) in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions. • High mean pt in p+p for (1520) and (1385) . • Strange resonance/non resonance ratio shows decrease in Au+Au collisions • compared to p+p collisions. • Tchem =120 MeV (thermal model) . • Or Time between chem. and kin. freeze-out = 5-10 fm/c (microscopic model). • Future Plans: • Complete d+Au and Au+Au analysis • write resonance paper (d+Au, p+p and Au+Au) • Put together results from (*,*,*) with , , K* and , • compare it with theoretical predictions. • Resonance meeting at Yale in Dec2002, • plan to have another resonance meeting later this year. • Full pt spectra for (1520) and (1530) with higher statistics from upcoming Au+Au run.
