Energy dependence of phi meson production in central Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 6 to 17 GeV

The NA49 collaboration Alt, C. ; Anticic, T. ; Baatar, B. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.C 78 (2008) 044907, 2008.
Inspire Record 787913 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.25063

Phi meson production is studied by the NA49 collaboration in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20A, 30A, 40A, 80A and 158A GeV beam energy. The data are compared to measurements at lower and higher energies and to microscopic and thermal models. The energy dependence of yields and spectral distributions is compatible with the assumption that partonic degrees of freedom set in at low SPS energies.

Production of Phi mesons in p + p, p + Pb and central Pb + Pb collisions at E(beam) = 158-A-GeV

The NA49 collaboration Afanasiev, S.V. ; Anticic, T. ; Bächler, J. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 491 (2000) 59-66, 2000.
Inspire Record 537897 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27038

Yields and phase space distributions of φ -mesons emitted from p+p (minimum bias trigger), p+Pb (at various centralities) and central Pb+Pb collisions are reported ( E beam =158 A GeV). The decay φ →K + K − was used for identification. The φ / π ratio is found to increase by a factor of 3.0±0.7 from inelastic p+p to central Pb+Pb. Significant enhancement in this ratio is also observed in subclasses of p+p events (characterized by high charged-particle multiplicity) as well as in the forward hemisphere of central p+Pb collisions. In Pb+Pb no shift or significant broadening of the φ -peak is seen.

Phi emission in central Pb + Pb collisions at 158-GeV/u.

The NA49 collaboration Pühlhofer, Falk ; Appelshäuser, H. ; Bächler, J. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.A 638 (1998) 431-434, 1998.
Inspire Record 481889 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.36218

Data on φ -production obtained by the CERN NA49 experiment for central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV/u are presented. Compared with pp interactions the φ -yield shows substantial strangeness enhancement: the φ /π ratio is found to increase by a factor of 2.6 ± 0.6, which is approximately the square of the K/π enhancement.

Phi, rho, and omega production in p U, O U and S U reactions at 200-GeV per nucleon

The NA38 collaboration Baglin, C. ; Baldisseri, A. ; Bussiere, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 272 (1991) 449-454, 1991.
Inspire Record 325656 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29289

Low mass muon pair production at high P T and low X F studied in pU, OU and SU 200 GeV per nucleon react ions. When energy density or projectile mass are increased, φ production is enhanced as compared with the yield of muon pairs in the mass continuum (1.7< M μμ < 2.4 GeV/ c 2 ), whereas the production of ω and ϱ, experimentally unresolved, remains approximately constant. This φ enhancement is in agreement with predictions based on quark-gluon plasma formation and, together with the previously reported J/Ψ suppression, puts severe constraints on a purely hadronic description of nucleus-nucleus collisions.

Muon pair and vector meson cross-sections in p W and S U collisions at 200-GeV/nucleon

The NA38 collaboration Abreu, M.C. ; Baglin, C. ; Baldisseri, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 368 (1996) 230-238, 1996.
Inspire Record 428066 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.28422

Muon pair production is studied in p - W and S  U collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon, as a function of transverse momentum P Tμμ . The inclusive ϱ + ω and Φ differential cross-sections dσ dP T are measured in the dimuon decay channel, for P T ≥ 0.6 GeV/c, in the central rapidity region, 3.0≤ y ≤ 4.0. Assuming the power law A-dependence σ = σ 0 ( A beam · A target ) α , the study of the integrated cross-sections for p - W and S  U collisions leads to α ϱ + ω = 1.00±0.02±0.07 and α Φ = 1.23±0.03±0.05, showing clear evidence of Φ enhancement in S  U interactions as compared to p - W collisions.
