Anti-Hyperon Enhancement through Baryon Junction Loops

arXiv:nucl-th/9901009 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.1735

Abstract

The baryon junction exchange mechanism recently proposed to explain valence baryon number transport in nuclear collisions is extended to study midrapidity anti-hyperon production. Baryon junction-anti-junction (J anti-J) loops are shown to enhance anti-Lambda, anti-Xi, anti-Omega yields as well as lead to long range rapidity correlations. Results are compared to recent WA97 Pb + Pb -> Y + anti-Y + X data.
