Measurements of $\Xi^-$ and $\overline{\Xi}^+$ production in proton-proton interactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 17.3 GeV in the NA61/SHINE experiment
The production of $\Xi(1321)^{-}$ and $\overline{\Xi}(1321)^{+}$ hyperons in inelastic p+p interactions is studied in a fixed target experiment at a beam momentum of 158 GeV/$c$. Double differential distributions in rapidity and transverse momentum are obtained from a sample of 33M inelastic events...

Sumario: | The production of $\Xi(1321)^{-}$ and $\overline{\Xi}(1321)^{+}$ hyperons in inelastic p+p interactions is studied in a fixed target experiment at a beam momentum of 158 GeV/$c$. Double differential distributions in rapidity and transverse momentum are obtained from a sample of 33M inelastic events. They allow to extrapolate the spectra to full phase space and to determine the mean multiplicity of both $\Xi^-$ and $\overline{\Xi}^+$. The rapidity and transverse momentum spectra are compared to transport model predictions. The $\Xi^-$ mean multiplicity in inelastic p+p interactions at 158 GeV/$c$ is used to quantify the strangeness enhancement in A+A collisions at the same centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair. |
