Resonance Production in Au+Au and p+p Collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $ 200 GeV
Abstract
Description
The $ρ^0(770)$, $K^{*0}(892)$, $f_{0}(980)$, $ϕ(1020)$, and $Λ(1520)$ production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = $ 200 GeV are presented. These resonances are used as a sensitive tool to examine the collision dynamics in the hadronic medium through their decay and regeneration. The modification of resonance mass, width, and shape due to phase space and dynamical effects are also discussed.
