Strangeness Production in Heavy Ion Collisions close to Threshold with HADES — •Alexander Schmah — Technische Universität München

For the first time, at SIS energies, the combined and inclusive identification of sub-threshold produced K+, K and φ-mesons was carried out. These data refer to the reaction Ar+KCl at kinetic beam energy of 1.756 AGeV, measured by the HADES collaboration. It will be demonstrated that the mesons are reconstructed with high purity. The same data also provide full phase space distributions for Ks0-mesons and Λ-hyperons and an estimate of the not measured Σ-hyperons relying on strangeness balance. The result is compared to previous published data [1].
The transverse momentum distributions, rapidity distributions and multiplicities of the kaons (K+, K) and φ-mesons are compared to previous measurement showing a nice agreement of the data with the available systematics [2]. The high statistics and quality of the Ks0 data allows studying of the low momentum region, which is supposed to be sensitive to the kaon-nucleon potential. The data are compared with theoretical models.
