  7. Particle spectra from Thermal Model W. Florkowski, SQM2004 T = 165.7 MeV μB = 27.9 MeV Signal loss for K* in low momentum region due to rescattering Regeneration also in low momentum region (D,r) Christina MarkertBreckenridge, Feb 6-11, 2005

  8. Signal Loss in low pT Region (UrQMD) Marcus Bleicher and Jörg Aichelin Phys. Lett. B530 (2002) 81-87. M. Bleicher and Horst Stöcker .Phys.G30 (2004) 111. pT spectrum flatter increase of <pT> Christina MarkertBreckenridge, Feb 6-11, 2005

  9. AuAu pp pT changes due to rescattering ? Inverse slope increase from p+p to Au+Au collisions. UrQMD predicts signal loss at low pT due to rescattering of decay daughters.  Inverse slopes and mean pT are higher. UrQMD has long lifetime (Dt 5-20fm/c) Christina MarkertBreckenridge, Feb 6-11, 2005

  10. Tch freeze-out Tkin freeze-out “Life-time” from Resonances Tch from thermal model fit, Tkin from Blast-Wave-Fit to p, K and p “Life-time” nearly constant in peripheral and central Au+Au collisions Resonances with more rescattering than regeneration: K*, L(1520)   > 4 fm/c G.

Haglin et. al, E. Kolomeitsev et.al • f shorter lifetime in medium • decay rate increased with in-medium kaons  f m+m- from early decay  f K+K- from late decay Christina MarkertBreckenridge, Feb 6-11, 2005

  13. Decaytime for Hadronic vs Leptonic Channel UrQMD • all decay • - measured • all decay • - measured l+l- p+p- Short lifetime resonances: Leptonic signal  signal from early decay Hadronic signal  signal from late decay (D later than r) Christina MarkertBreckenridge, Feb 6-11, 2005

  14. Estimate the Regeneration Probability Estimate of available energy for re-feeding at different reaction stages: D r • can re-created until end of the reaction (T kin ~ 90MeV) • re-creation is only possible near chemical freeze-out Marcus Bleicher, SQM2004 Christina MarkertBreckenridge, Feb 6-11, 2005

  21. Conclusions • Strong interacting hadronic medium after • chemical freeze-out. •  Thermal models do not describe all resonance yields. •  Rescattering and regeneration of resonances. •  Regeneration probes hadronic cross sections of heavy baryons. •  “Life-time” between freeze-outs > 4 fm/c • Medium modification of resonances. •  f yield in leptonic and hadronic channel at SPS • may give indication of width broadening of phi in medium. •  Width broadening of D++observed at RHIC energies in • Au+Au collisions. • Large fraction of particles coming from • resonance decays • Could affect kinematics of ’primordial’ particles. • High pT Resonances my probe the medium • at early stage.
