10/9/ Free template from Summary K + production can be used to probe the in- medium kaon potential, and consequently to probe an expected partial restoration of chiral symmetry at supra-normal nuclear densities. Most transport simulations reproduce corresponding data only when in-medium potentials are included The azimuthal distribution is one of sensitive observes to extract information on in-medium properties at high densities.
10/9/ Free template from We have analyzed the azimuthal distributions of K + mesons produced in Au+Au reactions at 1.5 A GeV and in Ni + Ni reactions at 1.93 A GeV within the QMD model. Calculated results with a in-medium K + N potential can reasonably describe the features of KaoS data.This indicates that the azimuthal distribution is one of sensitive probes to extract information on in-medium properties of K + mesons at high densitis.
