Centrality dependence of multistrange baryon production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

We consider the experimental data on the production of strange Lambdas, and multistrange baryons (Xi, Omega), and antibaryons, on nuclear targets, at the energy region from SPS up to LHC, in the framework of the Quark-Gluon String Model. One remarkable result of this analysis is the significant dependence on the centrality of the collision of the experimental ratios bar(Xi)+/bar(Lambda) and bar(Omega)+/bar(Lambda) ratios in heavy-ion collisions, at SPS energies.
