Description

The production of strange quarks and antiquarks in high-energy collisions of
heavy ions is a significant indicator for the creation of a state of matter known
as Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The QGP is characterized by the liberation of
quarks and gluons from their confinement inside hadrons. Due to their prompt
decay via weak interactions, strange quarks and antiquarks are not present in
normal matter and can only be produced via strong interactions within the
QGP. As the mass of strange quarks and antiquarks is close to the temperature
at which protons, neutrons, and other hadrons dissolve into quarks, they serve
as sensitive probes for studying the conditions, structure, and evolution of the
deconfined state of matter.
The current work will compare the properties of different strange particles,
including Λ, Ξ, and Ω in heavy-ion collisions at varying centralities, using two
models for simulating these collisions: the AMPT and UrQMD models, by com-
paring the yield and the baryon-to- antibaryon ratio of these particles at different
centralities at √sN N = 14.6 GeV from the two models, we can better under-
stand the properties of the QGP medium and gain insight into the differences
and similarities between the two simulation models. The better understanding,
we can better understand the properties of the QGP medium and gain insight
into the differences and similarities between the two simulation models. The
ultimate goal of this analysis is to provide a more comprehensive understanding
of the production of strange particles in heavy-ion collisions and its implications
for the formation and properties of the QGP medium.
