Abstract

A mean-field potential version of the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model is used to investigate the production of strange (anti-)baryons, especially the Λs and [Formula: see text]s, from heavy ion collisions at SPS energies. It is found that, with the consideration of both formed and pre-formed hadron potentials in UrQMD, the transverse mass and longitudinal rapidity distributions of experimental data of both Λs and [Formula: see text]s can be quantitatively explained fairly well. Our investigation also shows the equal importance of both the production mechanism and the rescattering process of hadrons for the final yield of strange baryons.
