    η\eta^{\prime} Production in Proton-Proton Collisions near Threshold

    Full text link
    Within the one-pion exchange model we calculate the near-threshold η{\eta}^{\prime} production from pppp collisions including the final state interaction between the protons. Since the description of the data is quite well we conclude that η,ρ\eta, \rho or ω \omega exchange currents either play no role or cancel each other to a large extent in this reaction.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX, including 3 ps-figures, UGI-98-20.

    The available data on ω\omega and ϕ\phi production from πN\pi N and pppp collisions are reanalyzed with respect to an OZI rule violation on the basis of transition matrix elements. The data are found to be compatible with a constant ratio RR up to excess energies ϵ300\epsilon{\approx}300 MeV, however, the ratio RR deviates substantially from the SU(3) prediction based on the present knowledge of the ϕω\phi-\omega mixing angle.Comment: 6 pages, svjour-style, including 10 ps-figure

    Strangeness production from πN\pi N collisions in nuclear matter

    Kaon production in pion-nucleon collisions in nuclear matter is studied in the resonance model. To evaluate the in-medium modification of the reaction amplitude as a function of the baryonic density we introduce relativistic, mean-field potentials for the initial, final and intermediate mesonic and baryonic states. These vector and scalar potentials were calculated using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The in-medium kaon production cross sections in pion-nucleon interactions for reaction channels with Λ\Lambda and Σ\Sigma hyperons in the final state were calculated at the baryonic densities appropriate to relativistic heavy ion collisions. Contrary to earlier work which has not allowed for the change of the cross section in medium, we find that the data for kaon production are consistent with a repulsive K+K^+-nucleus potential.Comment: Revtex, 13 pages, 12 Postscript figures.
