The (multi-)strange baryons (\\Xi and \\Omega) are produced by strangeness-exchange reactions between antikaons and hyperons in the pure hadronic phase. The rescattering between the omegas at midrapidity leads to a production probability of \\simeq 3x10^{-7} (\\Omega\\Omega)_{0+} per event at the RHIC energy of \\sqrt s=130A GeV. The production probability would be enhanced by two orders of magnitude if (\\Omega\\Omega)_{0+} and omega reach chemical equilibrium during heavy ion collisions. We further find that the yield of (\\Omega\\Omega)_{0+} increases continuously from SPS to the highest RHIC energy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-07-26T22:24:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "24.10.Lx", "14.20.Pt", "25.75.-q" ], "keywords": [ "relativistic heavy ion collisions", "diomega production", "production probability", "multiphase transport model", "omega reach chemical equilibrium" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 560710 } } }
