Centrality dependence of subthreshold ϕ meson production in Ni + Ni collisions at 1.9A GeV

We analyzed the ϕ meson production in central Ni + Ni collisions at a beam kinetic energy of 1.93A GeV with the FOPI spectrometer and found a production probability per event of [8.6±1.6(stat)±1.5(syst)]×10−4. This new data point allows us for the first time to inspect the centrality dependence of s...
