    Strangeness enhancement at mid-rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c

    No full text
    K-S(0), Lambda, Xi, Omega and negative particle yields and transverse mass spectra have been measured at central rapidity in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c. Yields are studied as a function of the number of nucleons participating in the collision N-part, which is estimated with the Glauber model. From p-Fb to Pb-Pb collisions the particle yields per participant increase substantially, The enhancement is more pronounced for multistrange particles, and exceeds an order of magnitude for the Omega. For a number of participants, N-part, greater than 100, however, all yields per participant appear to be constant. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

    Enhancement of strange and multi-strange baryons in central Pb-Pb interactions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon

    No full text
    Strange and multi-strange baryon production is expected to be enhanced in heavy ion interactions if a phase transition from hadronic matter to a Quark-Gluon Plasma takes place. The production yields: and transverse mass spectra of strange and multi-strange baryons and anti-baryons are presented for lead-lead interactions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon. Yields and transverse mass spectra from proton-lead and proton-beryllium interactions, where no phase transition is expected, are also presented and compared to those from lead-lead interactions

    Strangeness enhancement at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c: A comparison with VENUS and RQMD models

    Recently the WA97 Collaboration has measured K-S(0), Lambda, Xi, Omega and negative particle yields and transverse mass spectra at central rapidity in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c. These results are compared with the predictions of two of the most widely used event generators for heavy-ion collisions: VENUS 4.12 and RQMD 2.3. Both models predict that enhancement, increase with the strangeness content of the particle. They fail, however, to reproduce completely the measured values of yields at central rapidity. In particular, for multistrange particles, VENUS fails: to reproduce both the p-Pb and the Pb-Pb data. while RQMD works for p-Pb collisions but seems to be unable to reproduce the Omega data in Pb-Pb collisions. Moreover, the predicted behavior for strangeness production as: a function of the centrality of the collision appears to be different from the observed behavior

    Enhancement of central Delta, Xi and Omega yields in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c

    Lambda, Xi and Omega yields and transverse mass spectra have been measured in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at 158 A GeV/c. The yields in Pb-Pb interactions are presented as a function of the collision centrality and compared with those obtained from p-Pb collisions. Strangeness enhancement is observed which increases with centrality and with the strangeness content of the hyperon. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

    Energy dependence of hyperon production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS

    No full text
    A measurement of strange baryon and antibaryon production in Pb-Pb collisions has been carried out by the NA57 experiment at the CERN SPS, with 40 and 158 A GeV/c beam momentum. Results on Lambda, Xi and Omega hyperon yields at mid-rapidity in the most central 53% of Pb-Pb collisions at 40 A GeV/c are presented and compared with those obtained at higher energy, in the same collision centrality range. The Lambda and Xi(-) yields per unit rapidity stay roughly constant while those of Omega(-), A, (&UXi;) over bar (+) and (&UOmega;) over bar (+) increase when going to the higher SPS energy. Hyperon yields at the SPS are compared with those from the STAR experiment in root(s)NN = 130 GeV Au-Au collisions at RHIC. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

    Λ\Lambda, Ξ\Xi and Ω\Omega yields and transverse mass spectra have been measured at central rapidity in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at 158~A~GeV/cc. The yields in Pb-Pb interactions are presente d as a function of the collision centrality and compared with those obtained from p-Pb collisions. Strangeness enhancement is observed which increases with centrality and with the strangeness co ntent of the hyperon

    Long-range angular correlations on the near and away side in p-Pb collisions at root S-NN=5.02 TeV

    Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Angular correlations between charged trigger and associated particles are measured by the ALICE detector in p-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV for transverse momentum ranges within 0.5 < P-T,P-assoc < P-T,P-trig < 4 GeV/c. The correlations are measured over two units of pseudorapidity and full azimuthal angle in different intervals of event multiplicity, and expressed as associated yield per trigger particle. Two long-range ridge-like structures, one on the near side and one on the away side, are observed when the per-trigger yield obtained in low-multiplicity events is subtracted from the one in high-multiplicity events. The excess on the near-side is qualitatively similar to that recently reported by the CMS Collaboration, while the excess on the away-side is reported for the first time. The two-ridge structure projected onto azimuthal angle is quantified with the second and third Fourier coefficients as well as by near-side and away-side yields and widths. The yields on the near side and on the away side are equal within the uncertainties for all studied event multiplicity and p(T) bins, and the widths show no significant evolution with event multiplicity or p(T). These findings suggest that the near-side ridge is accompanied by an essentially identical away-side ridge. (c) 2013 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V.
