Abstract

Measurements of K*(892)(0) resonance production via its K+pi(-) decay mode in inelastic p+p collisions at beam momenta 40 and 80 GeV/c (root s(NN )= 8.8 and 12.3 GeV) are presented. The data were recorded by the NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The template method was used to extract the K*(892)(0) signal. Transverse momentum and rapidity spectra were obtained. The mean multiplicities of K*(892)(0) mesons were found to be (35.1 +/- 1.3(stat) +/- 3.6(sys)) . 10(-3) at 40 GeV/c and (58.3 +/- 1.9(stat) +/- 4.9(sys)) . 10(-3) at 80 GeV/c. The NA61/SHINE results are compared with the EPOS1.99 and Hadron Resonance Gas models as well as with world data. The transverse mass spectra of K*(892)(0) mesons and other particles previously reported by NA61/SHINE were fitted within the Blast-Wave model. The transverse flow velocities are close to 0.1-0.2 of the speed of light and are significantly smaller than the ones determined in heavy nucleus-nucleus interactions at the same beam momenta.
