Abstract

The centrality dependence of Ξ− and Λ production in Au+Au interactions at Elab=6 AGeV is studied within a microscopic transport approach. In line with recent data, a slight enhancement of the Ξ−/(Λ+Σ0) ratio toward central collisions is found. It is demonstrated that the observed production of multiple strange baryons can be traced back to multi-step meson–baryon interactions in the late stages of the collisions. Therefore, the present analysis supports an interpretation of the observed Ξ abundance in terms of hadronic rescattering.
