Book excerpt: The first measurements of[phi] meson production in Au-Au collisions at AGS energies are presented via the decay to K[sup+] K[sup[minus]]. A measurement of the centrality dependence of the yield shows an increase similar to that seen for the K[sup[minus]] with a spectral shape consistent with a relativistic Breit-Wigner distribution within the statistical errors of the present data set. Future analysis using the full data set with 4 times the statistics will allow a more accurate determination of the yields, slopes and spectral shapes.
