Au+Au Reactions at the AGS: Experiments E866 and E917
Particle production and correlation functions from Au+Au reactions have been
measured as a function of both beam energy (2-10.7AGeV) and impact parameter.
These results are used to probe the dynamics of heavy-ion reactions, confront
hadronic models over a wide range of conditions and to search for the onset of
new phenomena.Comment: 12 pages, 14 figures, Talk presented at Quark Matter '9
Production of phi Mesons in Au+Au Collisions at 11.7 A GeV/c
We report on a measurement of phi-meson production in Au+Au collisions at a
beam momentum of 11.7 A GeV/c by Experiment E917 at the AGS. The measurement
covers the midrapidity region 1.2 < y < 1.6. Transverse-mass spectra and the
rapidity distribution are presented as functions of centrality characterized by
the number of participant projectile nucleons. The yield of phi's per
participant projectile nucleon increases strongly in central collisions in a
manner similar to that observed for kaons.Comment: 12 pages, 3 table, 14 eps figures which use \includegraphics, revtex
