PHENIX results and prospects regarding strangeness and charm

Author information unavailable

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Recent results concerning the production of strangeness obtained by the PHENIX experiment from the first year of Au + Au collisions at √sNN = 130 GeV at the RHIC facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory are presented. Single-particle spectra and the ratios of single-particle yields for pions, kaons and protons are discussed. The characteristics of these spectra are examined as a function of the number of participating nucleons in the collision and as a function of transverse momentum. The prospects for a measurement of charm observables in the full-energy √sNN = 200 GeV Au + Au run at RHIC are discussed.
