Kaon flow in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

Using transport models that include explicitly the kaon degree of freedom, we have studied kaon flow, i.e., the average kaon transverse momentum as a function of rapidity, and the associated flow parameter in heavy ion collisions at both SIS and AGS energies. It is found that the pattern of kaon flow in heavy ion collisions is sensitive to the kaon potential used in the model and thus provides a useful means for studying the kaon properties in nuclear medium.
