φ meson production in d+Au collisions at √s_NN = 200 GeV
Abstract
The study of the φ meson production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is important in order to look for possible medium induced effects on vector meson properties and strangeness production. The PHENIX experiment has recorded almost 500 million d+Au collisions at √s_NN = 200 GeV during 2002 - 2003 RHIC run. The current status of the φ meson analysis in d + Au collisions via the K^+K^- decay channel will be presented and a comparative study with Au + Au data at RHIC will be discussed.
