Azimuthal anisotropy of K0s and Lambda prduction at mid-rapidity from Au+Au collisions at root s = 130 GeV
We report STAR results on the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2 for strange
particles K0S, L and Lbar at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sNN = 130 GeV
at RHIC. The value of v2 as a function of transverse momentum of the produced
particles pt and collision centrality is presented for both particles up to pt
3.0 GeV/c. A strong pt dependence in v2 is observed up to 2.0 GeV/c. The v2
measurement is compared with hydrodynamic model calculations. The physics
implications of the pt integrated v2 magnitude as a function of particle mass
are also discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, by the STAR collaboratio
Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at GeV
We report the first observation of in
relativistic heavy ion collisions. The transverse momentum spectrum of
from central Au+Au collisions at
GeV is presented. The ratios of the yield
derived from these data to the yields of negative hadrons, charged kaons, and
mesons have been measured in central and minimum bias collisions and
compared with model predictions and comparable , , and
results. The data indicate no dramatic reduction of
production in relativistic heavy ion collisions despite expected losses due to
rescattering effects.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, To be published in PRC
