Lambda(1520) and Sigma(1385) resonance production in Au+Au and p+p collisions at RHIC (sqrtsNN=200 GeV)
Abstract
The production of Lambda(1520) in p+p and Au+Au collisions provided by the RHIC at sqrtsNN=200 GeV are investigated using the STAR detector. A preliminary Sigma(1385) signal is also shown. Models predict that a late rescattering phase in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions should lower the measured yields of these resonances. This reduction is presently confirmed through the Lambda(1520)/Lambda ratio which has been calculated for p+p collisions and compared with Au+Au collisions.
