Abstract

(Anti-) baryon and kaon distributions in nucleus-nucleus reactions at 200 AGeV are studied in the framework of the transport model RQMD. Production mechanisms for strangeness and baryon pairs are tested by comparing their projectile and target mass dependence to available experimental data. RQMD contains two collective production processes, fusion of overlapping strings into highly charged chromoelectric ropes and hadronic rescattering. It turns out that both rope formation and hadronic rescattering are of importance for creation-and annihilation-of strangeness and antibaryons.

  18. The parameter choice for the diquark distribution is slightly softer now than the one described in [17]. This is, however, compensated by a more realistic angular distribution in decays of low mass excitations (baryon resonances) which decayed isotropically before
