Sažetak
We report on the observed differences in production rates of strange and multi-strange baryons in Au+Au collisions at sqrts = 200 GeV compared to p+p interactions at the same energy. The yields in Au+Au collisions, when scaled by the number of participants, are larger than those measured in the p+p data. The magnitudes of the differences grow with the strangeness of the baryon and with increasing centrality. The enhancements of the Au+Au yields are close to those measured in sqrts = 17.3 GeV collisions. Further, when the binary scaled p+p pT spectra are compared to those of Au+Au the heavy-ion yields exceed binary scaling in the pT range 1 < pT< 4 GeV/c.
