Phi meson production in near threshold proton-nucleus collisions
The cross section for production of Phi mesons in proton-nucleus reactions is
calculated as a function of the target mass. The decay width of the Phi meson
is affected by the change of the masses of the Phi, K+ and K- mesons in the
medium. A strong attractive K- potential leads to a measurable change of the
behavior of the cross section as a function of of the target mass. Comparison
between the kaon and electron decay modes are made.Comment: 4 pages, 1figure, new figure, new reference
Angular distribution and azimuthal asymmetry for pentaquark production in proton-proton collisions
Angular distributions for production of the pentaquark are
calculated for the collisions of polarized protons with polarized target
protons. We compare calculations based on different assumptions concerning spin
and parity () of the state. For a wide class of
interactions the spin correlation parameters describing the asymmetric angular
distributions are calculated up to 250 MeV above production threshold. The
deviations from the near threshold behavior are investigated.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Calculations of K+, K- and phi Production in Near-Threshold Proton-Nucleus Collisions
K+, K- and \phi meson production in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions has been
calculated within a BUU transport model. It is shown that the nucleon-hyperon
strangeness transfer channel is essential. The role of three-body reactions has
been investigated within the medium. The targetmass dependence of
production is predicted to give important information on the in-medium
properties of all three mesons.Comment: Talk presented by H.W.B. at the Budapest 2004 workshop on 'Hot and

Radial flow has little effect on clusterization at intermediate energies in the framework of the Lattice Gas Model
The Lattice Gas Model was extended to incorporate the effect of radial flow.
Contrary to popular belief, radial flow has little effect on the clusterization
process in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions except adding an ordered
motion to the particles in the fragmentation source. We compared the results
from the lattice gas model with and without radial flow to experimental data.
We found that charge yields from central collisions are not significantly
affected by inclusion of any reasonable radial flow.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, submitted to PRC; Minor update and resubmitted to

Production of phi mesons in subthreshold heavy-ion collisions
Within a BUU type transport model we study meson production in
subthreshold Ni+Ni and Ru+Ru reactions. For the first time we included in our
model the elementary reaction channels , and . In spite of a substantial increase of
the multiplicities by these channels our results stay significantly
below the preliminary experimental data.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, version to be published in the proceedings of the

Collective flow in central Au-Au collisions at 150, 250 and 400 A MeV
Radial collective flow and thermalization are studied in gold on gold
collisions at 150, 250 and 400 A MeV bombarding energies with a
relativistically covariant formulation of a QMD code. We find that radial flow
and "thermal" energies calculated for all the charged fragments agree
reasonably with the experimental values. The experimental hardware filter at
small angles used in the FOPI experiments at higher energies selects mainly the
thermalized particles.Comment: 4 pages with 4 EPS figures included. Version accepted for publication
