Download or read book Multi-strange Baryon Production in Au-Au Collisions at Sqrt(sNN) written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transverse mass spectra and mid-rapidity yields for [Xi]s and [Omega]s plus their anti-particles are presented. The 10% most central collision yields suggest that the amount of multi-strange particles produced per produced charged hadron increases from SPS to RHIC energies. A hydrodynamically inspired model fit to the spectra, which assumes a thermalized source, seems to indicate that these multi-strange particles experience a significant transverse flow effect, but are emitted when the system is hotter and the flow is smaller than values obtained from a combined fit to [pi], K, p and [Lambda]s.
