Magestro, private communication     STAR Central point • AuAu min-bias data and central point are consistent. • Suppression of observed lambda*, already in peripheral event • Show the same trend as the K* (Haibin Zhang, Sun)

  33. = ss : more sensitive to strangeness • enhancement than kaons ? n.b. : small deviation from PDG mass seen at all three Pb+Pb data sets, but not in pp.  at 40 and 80 AGeV V. Fries (NA49) SQM03

  34. Spectra Thermal Freezeout Transverse (radial) flow? pQCD hard processes? Flavor-dependent jet-quenching?

  35. <pt> and p + p collisions R. Witt (STAR) SQM03 K0s Not flow in p-p ……. so evidence for mini-jets?

  36. Slope T from fit to mT spectra: Transverse Flow STAR preliminary

  37. K*0 <pT> in Au+Au collisions is larger than in p+p collisions K*0 <pT> in peripheral Au+Au collisions is larger than anti- proton <pT>  Rescattering? K*0 <pT> in central Au+Au collisions is comparable toanti- proton <pT>  Rescattering + Regeneration? K*0 <pT> in Au+Au collisions is “flat” vs. number of charged particles STAR Preliminary K*0 <pT> vs. Centrality H. Zhang (STAR) SQM03 11

  38. <pT> centrality dependence J. Ma (STAR) SQM03 1)p, K, p mean transverse momentum <pT> increase in more central collisions; 2) Heavier mass particle <pT> increase faster than lighter ones as expected from hydro type collective flow; 1)p, K, p mean transverse momentum <pT> increase in more central collisions; 2) Heavier mass particle <pT> increase faster than lighter ones as expected from hydro type collective flow; 3)f-meson seems to flow differently. Star preliminary

  39. Energy Dependence : Kaon Slope Parameters V. Fries (NA49) SQM03 No dependence of kaon slope parameters on energy at SPS Modification of EOS in phase transition region ? see hep-ph/0303041

  40. strong mass dependence of pT spectra. L/K- , f/K- ratios increase as pt increases! Ratio  1 at high pt Indicates flow (+ rescattering) rather than novel baryon dynamics at high pt? Strange Baryons and Strange Mesons as pT Increases

  41. 158 AGeV pions and deuterons not included in fit Kinetic Freeze-Out : mid-rapidity mt spectra V. Fries (NA49) SQM03 radial flow fit (blast wave) also describes heavy hyperons common freeze-out behaviour for all measured particles

  42. 40 AGeV Kinetic Freeze-Out at 40 AGeV V. Fries (NA49) SQM03 good description also at 40 AGeV and 80 AGeV (not shown) Parameters T and T similar for all three energies

  45. Small yield of L(1520) and K* L(1520) and K* produced at “lower temperature” than other hadrons? Destroyed during time from chemical to thermal freeze out Consistency checkHints of non-zero emission duration F.

Gaudichet, C. Markert)

  46. HBT vs mt S. Bekele (STAR) SQM03 ? Wiedemann and Heinz expect: to drop with 1/mat due to collective flow. (a ~ 0.5) Rinv for K0s does not seem to obey same mt scaling Need more detailed studies before conclusive statement made

  47. Kaons 200 GeV Au-Au STAR Preliminary Observing Hadronization Timescale G. Westfall (STAR) SQM03 The Premise: • Charge/anti-charge pairs are created close in space-time • Early creation (hadron gas) • Longitudinal expansion and rescattering pulls pairs apart • Loose correlation in rapidity • Late creation (after deconfined phase?) • Pairs only form at hadronization, late in collision • Less rescattering • Less loss of correlation in rapidity • Balance function tries to measure this correlation • Width of balance function then related to time between hadronization and freeze-out

  48. STAR Preliminary Balance Function at 200 GeV G. Westfall (STAR) SQM03 Smooth transition from p-p to Au-Au K narrower than p Narrower widths for more central data: Delayed hadronization?
