We present data on charged kaons (K+-) and {\phi} mesons in Au(1.23A GeV)+Au collisions. It is the first simultaneous measurement of K and {\phi} mesons in central heavy-ion collisions below a kinetic beam energy of 10A GeV. The {\phi}/K- multiplicity ratio is found to be surprisingly high with a value of 0.52 +- 0.16 and shows no dependence on the centrality of the collision. Consequently, the different slopes of the K+ and K- transverse-mass spectra can be explained solely by feed- down, which substantially softens the spectra of K- mesons. Hence, in contrast to the commonly adapted argumentation in literature, the different slopes do not necessarily imply diverging freeze- out temperatures of K+ and K- mesons caused by different couplings to baryons.

  1. The influence of nuclear short range correlations on sub-threshold particle production in proton-nucleus collisions

    nucl-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Short range correlated nucleon pairs can explain enhanced sub-threshold production of strange and charmed hadrons in proton-nucleus collisions, with the SRC tail raising yields by up to 10^3 versus a Fermi gas.
