The possibilities of measuring the properties of K* (892)0 and φ (1020) resonances in collisions of xenon nuclei with a fixed tungsten target at an energy of 2.5A GeV in the MPD experiment
We report the study results of possibilities of measuring the properties of K* (892)0 and φ (1020) resonances in collisions of Xe nuclei with a fixed tungsten target at an energy of 2.5A GeV using the MPD detector at the NICA collider. The evaluations of the mass resolution, detection efficiency of the MPD detector and the transverse momentum spectra for the studied resonances were made. The evaluations were obtained depending on the transverse momentum for different intervals of centrality of Xe + W collisions in the central rapidity range using model calculations. The resonances were reconstructed in the K* (892)0 → K+ + π- and φ (1020) → K+ + K- decay channels. We used an approach based on σ-parameterization of daughter particle identification information in the MPD detector.
