Subthreshold K production in high energy heavy ion collisions Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We show that an important contribution to subthreshold K- production in high energy heavy ion collision is the strangeness exchange reactions YKN between the hyperons and pions initially produced in the collision. Estimates are given for the number of K- produced via this mechanism and it accounts for a large fraction of the experimental observation. 1983.
