Au+Au √s NN =62.4GeV mid-rapidity, 7 centrality classes m T spectra dN/dy energy dependence (SPS, AGS data) yield (anti-Λ)/Λ ratio
Introduction strange particle production →collision でできた matter の情報 Why 62.4GeV? ->energy scan b/w SPS & RHIC 130,200GeV SPS : baryon dominated RHIC : net-baryon free hope excitation function の情報 constrains to the thermal model predictions
STAR experiment TPC (|y|<1.8):charged track SVT (|y|<1.),SSD (|y|<1.) :primary/secondary vertex SVT,TPC : dE/dx を使用して PID
experimental setup Au+Au √s NN =62.4GeV (Run4) mid-rapidity STAR detector(|y|<0.5) 6.5×10 6 events 7 different centrality classes # of primary tracks(0-5% ~ 60-80%) charged particle track : TPC -> PID
reconstruction neutral particle reconstruction : V0 decay topology method K0(s)->π + +π - (anti-)Λ->(anti-)proton+(π + )π - S/N improvement dE/dx information (daughter tracks) distance of closest approach (b/w daughter tracks) some topological cuts

m T spectra & integrated yield m T distribution corrections geometrical acceptance detector inefficiency anti-proton absorption NOT contained weak decays of multi-strange particles fitting assuming flat rapidity distribution (|y|<0.5)
m T spectra & integrated yield
integrated yield integrated yield 〈 N part 〉 ← Glauber model integrated yield / 〈 N part 〉 enhancement of strangeness production as a function of centrality most peripheral bin same enhancement pattern with SPS experiment earlier saturation point
Energy dependence of yield & ratio yield of mid-rapidity anti-Λ : monotonic increase Λ : constant Λ : different b/w SPS & RHIC anti-Λ/Λ ratio energy ratio~1
conclusions strange hyperon new point in excitation function integrated yield / ratio relatively smooth behavior with energy non-identical particle ratio に重要 (Λ/π, K/π) typical strangeness enhancement
