| Summary: | Antikaon production from heavy ion collisions at energies available from the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at the Brookhaven National Laboratory are studied. This is carried out by extending the relativistic transport model ART 1.0 to include antikaon production from baryon-baryon, meson-baryon, meson-meson interactions. The final-state interactions of antikaons via either absorption or elastic scattering by nucleons are also considered. To compare with the available or future experimental data, we have calculated the antikaon rapidity distributions, transverse mass spectra and collective flow. Medium effects on these observables due to the mean-field potential have also been investigated. It is found that antikaon is a better probe of the medium effects than kaon. |
