Flavor Production in Pb(160AGeV) on Pb Collisions: Effect of Color Ropes and Hadronic Rescattering

Collective interactions in the preequilibrium quark matter and hadronic resonance gas stage of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied in the framework of the the transport theoretical approach RQMD. The paper reviews string fusion into color ropes and hadronic rescattering which serve as models for these interactions. Hadron production in central Pb(160AGeV) on Pb collisions has been calculated. The changes of the final flavor composition are more pronounced than in previous RQMD studies of light ion induced reactions at 200AGeV. The ratio of created quark pairs $s\bar{s}$/($u\bar{u}$+$d\bar{d}$) is enhanced by a factor of 2.4 in comparison to $pp$ results. Color rope formation increases the initially produced antibaryons to 3 times the value in the `NN mode', but only one quarter of the produced antibaryons survives because of subsequent strong absorption. The differences in the final particle composition for Pb on Pb collisions compared to S induced reactions are attributed to the hadronic resonance gas stage which is baryon-richer and lasts longer.

Antibaryons in massive heavy ion reactions: Importance of potentials

In the framework of RQMD we investigate antiproton observables in massive heavy ion collisions at AGS energies and compare to preliminary results of the E878 collaboration. We focus here on the considerable influence of the *real* part of an antinucleon--nucleus optical potential on the antiproton momentum spectra.

Phasespace Correlations of Antideuterons in Heavy Ion Collisions

In the framework of the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics approach ({\small RQMD}) we investigate antideuteron ($\overline{d}$) observables in Au+Au collisions at 10.7~AGeV. The impact parameter dependence of the formation ratios $\overline{d}/\overline{p}^2$ and ${d}/{p}^2$ is calculated. In central collisions, the antideuteron formation ratio is predicted to be two orders of magnitude lower than the deuteron formation ratio. The $\overline{d}$ yield in central Au+Au collisions is one order of magnitude lower than in Si+Al collisions. In semicentral collisions different configuration space distributions of $\overline{p}$'s and $\overline{d}$'s lead to a large ``squeeze--out'' effect for antideuterons, which is not predicted for the $\overline{p}$'s.

New Scaling Law for Deuteron Production in Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus Nucleus Collisions

Deuteron production in S and Pb induced collisions at beam energies of 200 and 160 AGeV is studied in the framework of the transport theoretical approach RQMD. Strong transverse flow invalidates the differential coalescence formula in momentum space. The transverse momentum integrated $d$ yields scale in a broad rapidity interval with the squared proton densities and inversely with the produced particle rapidity densities. This kind of scaling can be linked to constant relative sizes of nucleon and pion sources at freeze-out. With increasing projectile mass the nucleon source blows up stronger than the pion source. As a result, the scaled deuteron densities drop in central Pb+Pb collisions by 15 percent as compared to S induced reactions.
