摘要
Production of the K*(892)(0) and (K) over bar*(892)(0) resonances was studied via their K+pi(-) and K-pi(+) decay modes in central Pb + Pb, Si + Si, C + C, and inelastic p + p collisions at 158A GeV(root s(NN) = 17.3 GeV) with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS. Transverse momentum and rapidity distributions were measured and total yields were estimated. The yield of K* exceeds that of (K) over bar* by about a factor of two in nucleus-nucleus reactions. The total yield ratios < K*>/< K+> and <(K) over bar*>/< K > are strongly suppressed in central Pb + Pb compared to p + p, C + C, and Si + Si collisions, in agreement with the expected attenuation of these short-lived resonance states in the hadronic phase of the expanding fireball. The UrQMD model, although incorporating such a scenario, does not provide a quantitative description of the experimental results. The statistical hadron gas model assuming the same freeze-out parameters for stable hadrons and resonances overestimates the < K*>/< K > ratios in central Pb + Pb collisions by about a factor of 2.5.
