phi-meson global spin alignment kaon and phi distributions

These are the results and comparisons for raw data and simulated reconstructed particles.

We are focusing on 19.6 GeV Au+Au collisions in BES-II with centrality 20-60%.


Data comparison to Pythia6 simulation results with the followin settings:

Rapidity Spectra flat
v2 from preliminary results
ToF Matching Efficiency On
TPC Tracking Efficiency On
Angular dependent of Efficiencies phi-Psi2
Acceptance cut |eta| <1
