Efficiency-corrected spectra for the indicated particle types and centrality bins in Au+Au collisions at GeV. Note that seven centrality bins have been used for and while only six and three have been used for and , respectively. Only statistical uncertainties are shown. The spectra are corrected for the feed-down from decay. The dashed lines are fits to the spectra with a Maxwell-Boltzmann function.
Extrapolated average transverse momenta as a function of for different particle species in Au+Au collisions at GeV. Statistical uncertainties are represented by the bars while the systematic uncertainties are represented by the gray bands. The , and data were extracted from Ref. [1]. Some data points are shifted in the horizontal direction for visibility.
Strange particle production yields at midrapidity in central Au+Au and Pb+Pb collisions versus the center of mass energy . The top panel shows results for and . The AGS values are from E896 [2] (centrality 0%–5%). The SPS values are from NA49 [3] (centrality 0%–7%) and the RHIC values are from STAR [4, 5] (centrality 0%–5%). For the multistrange baryons and (bottom panel), the SPS results are from NA57 [6] (centrality 0%–11%) and the RHIC values are from STAR [5, 7] (centrality 0%–20%). The bars indicate only the statistical uncertainties for the STAR data points.
Antibaryon to baryon yield ratios for strange baryons in central Au+Au and Pb+Pb collisions versus the center of mass energy . is shown in the top panel while ratios for the multistrange baryons are in the bottom panel. The data from AGS are not corrected for the weak decay feed-down from the multistrange baryons while the data from SPS and RHIC are corrected. The lines are the results of the thermal model calculation (see Sec. IV A of the original article). The AGS values are from E896 [2] (centrality 0%–5%). The SPS values are from NA49 [3] (centrality 0%–7%) and the RHIC values are from STAR [4, 5] (centrality 0%–5%). For the multistrange baryons and (bottom panel), the SPS results are from NA57 [6] (centrality 0%–11%), and the RHIC values are from STAR [5, 7] (centrality 0%–20%). The bars indicate only the statistical uncertainties for the STAR data points.
Antibaryon to baryon yield ratios for strange particles and protons as a function of in Au+Au collisions at and 200 GeV. The data were extracted from Ref. [1]. The GeV strange hadron data were extracted from Ref. [5]. Some data points are shifted in the horizontal direction for visibility. The bars indicate only the statistical uncertainties.
Ratios of baryon (solid symbols) and antibaryon (open symbols) to yield as a function of , normalized by the corresponding ratio in the most-peripheral collisions, in Au+Au collisions at GeV (left panels) and GeV (right panels). The and data were extracted from Ref. [1]. Some data points are shifted in the horizontal direction for visibility. The bars indicate only the statistical uncertainties.
Ratio of baryon (solid symbols) and antibaryon (open symbols) to at midrapidity in central Au+Au and Pb+Pb collisions as a function of . The lines are the results of the thermal model calculation (see Sec. IV A of the original article). The SPS values are from NA49 [3] (centrality 0%–7%) and the RHIC values are from STAR [4, 5] (centrality 0%–5%). For the multistrange baryons and (bottom panel), the SPS results are from NA57 [6] (centrality 0%–11%) and the RHIC values are from STAR [5, 7] (centrality 0%–20%). The bars indicate only the statistical uncertainties for the STAR data points.
Nuclear modification factor , calculated as the ratio between 0%–10% central spectra and 40%–80% peripheral spectra, for , and particles in Au+Au collisions at GeV. The values were extracted from Ref. [8]. The vertical bars around the markers indicate only the statistical uncertainties. The gray band on the right side of the plot shows the uncertainty on the scaling by the number of binary collisions. The gray band on the lower left side indicates the uncertainty on the scaling by the number of participants. The solid and dashed lines inside these bands are the baselines of the scalings by the number of binary collisions and the number of participants, respectively.
