φ meson production in Au single bond Au collisions at image GeV Original Research Article

A simultaneous measurement of the φ via its K+K− and e+e− decay channels was performed in Au + Au collisions at View the MathML source GeV at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX experiment. The preliminary minimum bias yields dNφ/dy in the kaon and electron channels are 2.01 ± 0.22 (stat.)−0.521.01 (syst.) and 5.4 ± 2.5 (stat)−2.8+3.4 (syst.), respectively. The centrality dependence of the yield in the K+K− channel is presented.
