Abstract (data abstract)
We present the first measurement of midrapidity vector meson $\phi$ production in Au+Au collisions at RHIC ($\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 130 GeV) from from the STAR detector. For the 11% highest multiplicity collisions, the slope parameter from an exponential fit to the transverse mass distribution is $T=379\pm50({\rm stat})\pm45({\rm syst})$ MeV, the yield $dN/dy = 5.73\pm0.37({\rm stat})\pm0.69({\rm syst})$ per event, and the ratio $N_\phi/N_h^-$ is found to be $0.021\pm0.001({\rm stat})\pm0.04({\rm syst})$. The measured ratio $N_\phi/N_h^-$ and $T$ for the $\phi$ meson at midrapidity do not change for the selected multiplicity bins.
