Energy dependence of string fragmentation function and $\varphi$ meson production

Ben-Hao Sa, Zhong-Qi Wang, Xu Cai +3

The $\varphi$ meson productions in $Au+Au$ and/or $Pb+Pb$ collisions at AGS, SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies have been studied systematically with a hadron and string cascade model LUCIAE. A…
