Cold Kaons from Hot Fireballs

Abstract

The E814-collaboration has found a component of very low $m_t$ $K^{+}$ mesons with a slope parameter of $T\sim 15\mathrm{MeV}$. We will present a scenario which explains the observed slope parameter and which allows us to predict the expected slope parameter for kaons produced in heavier systems such as Au+Au. Implications for the restoration of chiral symmetry in relativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed.(figures are being sent on request)
