Physics

Scientific paper

Due to a combination of its long lifetime and a small hadronic scattering cross-section, the φ meson is a valuable probe of the early evolution of matter created in heavy ion collisions. In this talk, we present our measurement of φ meson production in Cu+Cu collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV using the φ->K^+K^- decay channel. A comparison to the corresponding measurements from PHENIX and STAR will be made. The centrality evolution of φ meson dN/dy values will be discussed. A motivation for a measurement of φ meson production at √sNN˜20 GeV will be given. We also discuss the implications of an absence of any observed in-medium modifications of the mean or the width of the φ meson.
