Strangeness Saturation: Energy- and System-Size Dependence
J. Cleymans, B. Kampfer, P. Steinberg, S. Wheaton
Abstract
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions lead to a final state which has a higher degree of strangeness saturation than those of elementary collisions. A systematic analysis of this phenomenon, based on the strangeness saturation factor, is made for C+C, Si+Si and Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS collider and for Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies. Strangeness saturation is shown to increase with the number of participants within a colliding system, at both CERN SPS and RHIC energies. The saturation observed in central collisions of lighter nuclei deviates from that seen in peripheral collisions of heavier nuclei with an equivalent participant number, which could be due to the difference in nuclear density.
