TY - THES A1 - Kohls, Marvin T1 - Production of K± and ϕ-Mesons in Ag+Ag-Collisions at 1.58 A GeV N2 - This work focuses on the investigation of K+, K- and ϕ-meson production in Ag(1.58 A GeV)+Ag collisions. The energetically cheapest channel for direct K+ production in binary NN-collisions NN→NΛK+ lies at exactly this energy. For the remaining K- and ϕ-mesons, an excess energy of 0.31 GeV and 0.34 GeV in the centre of mass system has to be provided by the system. This makes these particles an excellent probe for effects inside the medium. K+ and K- mesons can be reconstructed directly as they possess a cτ of approximately 3.7 m. Using the approximately 3 billion recorded Ag(1.58 A GeV)+Ag 0-30% most central collision events, all reconstructed K+ and K- within the detector acceptance are investigated for their kinematic properties and their particle production rates compared to a selection of existing models.
