RT Journal Article T1 Description of ϕ -meson production in hadronic and nuclear collisions at very high energies A1 Arakelyan, Gevorg A1 Merino Gayoso, Carlos Miguel A1 Shabelski, Yu. M. K1 Strange vector mesons resonances K1 High energy hadroproduction AB We expose the current experimental and theoretical situation of the interesting case of the production of ϕ mesons in up to very high energy collisions of hadrons on both nucleon and nuclear targets, and we present a quantitatively good theoretical description of the corresponding experimental data, based on the formalism of the well established Quark–Gluon String Model, that has proved to be valid for a wide energy range. All the available experimental data for ϕ -meson production in hadron–nucleon collisions on the spectra of secondary ϕ , and on the ratios of ϕ/π− and ϕ/K− production cross-sections, as well the corresponding ones for ϕ -meson production on nuclear targets, are considered. In particular, it is seen that the production of ϕ -mesons on nuclear targets presents unusually small shadow corrections for the inclusive density in the central rapidity region.
