Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Measurement of[phi] meson production in Au+Au collisions has been conducted by E917 at BNL-AGS via selecting events with identified K[sup+]K[sup[minus]] pairs. Preliminary results on the invariant mass spectra of K[sup+]K[sup[minus]] pairs and the m[sub T] spectra are presented. Also, the inverse slope T, dN/dy, the ratio of[phi]/K[sup[minus]], ratio of[phi]/K[sup+]K[sup[minus]] and their centrality dependences are extracted in a rapidity range of y= 0.9-1.4. Indications on the possible mechanisms of[phi] production are discussed.
