Kaon and phi production in pion-induced reactions at 1.7 GeV/c — •Joana Wirth1,2, Laura Fabbietti1,2, Steffen Maurus1,2, and Alessandro Scordo3 for the HADES collaboration — 1Physik Department, TUM, Garching, Germany — 2Excellence Cluster "Universe", Garching, Germany — 3LNF, INFN, Frascati, Italy
The production and properties of K+, K− and Φ in cold nuclear matter generated in pion-nucleon reactions (π− + A, A = C, W) at pπ−= 1.7 GeV/c has been investigated with the HADES detector at GSI.
Of particular interest is the K− absorption in nuclear matter which should be apparent through strangeness exchange processes (K− N→ Yπ), contrary to the K+ with no conventional absorption mechanism due to strangeness conservation. In this context also the Φ absorption (Φ→ K+K−, BR∼48.9%) is studied in light and heavy nuclei.
In this talk we are presenting the K− absorption on the basis of the K−/K+ ratios in both nuclear environments and obtained cross-sections inside the HADES acceptance. In addition the Φ absorption in nuclear medium by comparing the production in carbon and tungsten is shown as well as the K− production in terms of the Φ feed-down.
