Centrality dependence of strangeness and (anti)hyperon production at BNL RHIC

Abstract

We evaluate strangeness produced in Au--Au interactions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=200$ GeV, as function of reaction participant number $A$, and obtain the relative strange quark content at hadronization. Strange baryon and antibaryon rapidity density yields are studied, relative to, and as function of, participant number, and produced hadron yields.
