Energy dependence of hyperon production in nucleus–nucleus collisions at SPS

Abstract: A measurement of strange baryon and antibaryon production in Pb-Pb collisions has been carried out by the NA57 experiment at the CERN SPS, with 40 and 158 A GeV/c beam momentum. Results on Λ, Ξ and Ω hyperon yields at mid-rapidity in the most central 53% of Pb-Pb collisions at 40 A GeV/c are presented and compared with those obtained at higher energy, in the same collision centrality range.The Λ and Ξ − yields per unit rapidity stay roughly constant while those of Ω − , Λ, Ξ + and Ω + increase when going to th… Show more

“…4 Remarkably, as already seen in Fig. 8, there is a very good agreement between the NA49 [61,62,63] and the NA57 [64] data. The ratioΛ/Λ from the NA45 (CERES) experiment [90] is as well in agreement.…”

“…The mid-rapidity yields of pions, kaons and (anti)protons and deuterons [57,58,59,60] are available for these energies. The yields of the complete set of strange (anti)hyperons [61,62,63,64,65] and of φ [66] are published for the top energy and at 40 AGeV. Since the deuteron yield is measured over a reduced range in momentum, we have decided to not include the deuterons in the fitting procedure for all the SPS energies, although the ratio d/p will be shown in the following plots.…”

“…The centrality and system size dependence of hyperon production at E lab = 40A and 158A GeV at mid rapidity (|y| ≤ 0.5) is shown in Fig. 2 (left) and compared to data [29,21,30,31,32,33,34]. The dashed line represents calculations with standard UrQMD and the solid line depicts predictions from transport + hydro simulations.…”
