Hyperon production in lead-lead interactions at 40 and 160 A GeV/ c
2004
The NA57 experiment has measured strange baryon and antibaryon production in Pb-Pb collisions at 40 A GeV/c and 160 A GeV/c beam momenta. This presentation covers strangeness enhancement and transverse spectra from the 160 A GeV/c data, and energy dependence of the particle yields. Enhancement factors increase with increasing strangeness content of the particle, when production yields from Pb-Pb collisions are compared with those observed in p-Be and p-Pb interactions. The transverse mass spectra have been analysed both with exponential fits and using a transverse flow model.
