A Multi-Phase Transport Model (AMPT) has been extensively used to understand the physics behind the experimental observation. Like other models, the outcome of the AMPT model depends on the initial parameters. Therefore, one needs to choose suitable initial parameters before using the model. Lund string fragmentation function has been used to create quark-antiquarks pairs in the AMPT model. The Lund string fragmentation parameters determine the yields and transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) spectra of particles produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The values of Lund string fragmentation parameters were determined by fitting the charged particle yield and $p_{T}$ spectra measured in the experiment. In this paper, we have shown the yield of strange quarks carrying hadrons, e.g. $phi$ mesons, are more sensitive to Lund string fragmentation parameters compared to non-strange pions. Using $phi$ meson spectra measured at RHIC, we have obtained new sets of Lund parameters for Au+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{mathrm {NN}}}$ = 11.5, 39, and 200 GeV. We have found that using the same set of parameters, we can explain $phi$-meson yield at $sqrt{s_{mathrm {NN}}}$ = 39 and 200 GeV, however, we need a different set of parameters for $sqrt{s_{mathrm {NN}}}$ = 11.5 GeV. This suggests that at low energy, $sqrt{s_{mathrm {NN}}}$ = 11.5 GeV, the underlying mechanism for particle production is different compared to top RHIC energies. We have also predicted invariant yield of $pi$ and $phi$ mesons as a function of $p_{T}$ in U+U collisions at $sqrt{s_{mathrm {NN}}}$ = 196 GeV to be measured by STAR experiment.

Nuclear production experiments report missing absorption processes of the in-medium phi meson. Contributions arising from the K-bar K cloud have already been widely studied, and therefore we investigate the phi-meson properties in cold nuclear matter with the additional inclusion of resonant phi N interactions. Two models are considered which dynamically generate N*-like states close to the phi N threshold. We find that these states, together with the non-resonant part of the amplitude, contribute to the phi self-energy with the same order of magnitude as the K-bar K effects. At non-vanishing nuclear density, both models lead to an additional in-medium broadening of the phi, up to around 50 MeV. Furthermore, at least one of the models is compatible with a mass shift to lower energies of up to 35 MeV at threshold and normal matter density. Finally, a double-peak structure appears in the spectral function due to the mixing of resonance-hole modes with the $phi$ quasi-particle peak. These results converge into the direction of the experimental findings.
We investigate the effects of strong color fields and of the associated enhanced intrinsic transverse momenta on the phi-meson production in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. The observed consequences include a change of the spectral sl opes, varying particle ratios, and also modified mean transverse momenta. In particular, the composition of the production processes of phi mesons, that is, direct production vs. coalescence-like production, depends strongly on the strength of the color fields and intrinsic transverse momenta and thus represents a sensitive probe for their measurement.
We investigate $phi$ meson photoproduction on the nucleon and the uclide[4]{He} targets within a dynamical model approach based on a Hamiltonian which describes the production mechanisms by the Pomeron-exchange, meson-exchanges, $phi$ radiations, an d nucleon resonance excitations mechanisms. The final $phi N$ interactions are included being described by the gluon-exchange, direct $phi N$ couplings, and the box-diagrams arising from the couplings with $pi N$, $rho N$, $KLambda$, and $KSigma$ channels. The parameters of the Hamiltonian are determined by the experimental data of $gamma p to phi p$ from the CLAS Collaboration. The resulting Hamiltonian is then used to predict the coherent $phi$-meson production on the uclide[4]{He} targets by using the distorted-wave impulse approximation. For the proton target, the final $phi N$ rescattering effects, as required by the unitarity condition, are found to be very weak, which supports the earlier calculations in the literature. For the uclide[4]{He} targets, the predicted differential cross sections are in good agreement with the data obtained by the LEPS Collaboration. The role of each mechanism in this reaction is discussed and predictions for a wide range of scattering angles are presented, which can be tested in future experiments.

The production of phi mesons in Au+Au collisions at RHIC and their propagation in a hot and dense nuclear medium is studied within the microscopic quark-gluon string model. The inverse slope parameter of the transverse mass distribution agrees well w ith that extracted from the STAR data, while the absolute yield of phi is underestimated by a factor 2. It appears that the fusion of strings alone cannot increase the phi yield either. Less than 30% of detectable phis experience elastic scattering, this rate is insufficient for the full thermalization of phi. The directed flow of phi at |y|<2 demonstrates strong antiflow behavior, whereas its elliptic flow rises up to about 3.5% in the same rapidity interval. As a function of transverse momentum it rises linearly with increasing p_t, in agreement with the STAR data, and saturates at p_t > 2 GeV/c.
We investigate the $phi$ meson nuclear transparency using some recent theoretical developments on the $phi$ in medium self-energy. The inclusion of direct resonant $phi N$-scattering and the kaon decay mechanisms leads to a $phi$ width much larger th an in most previous theoretical approaches. The model has been confronted with photoproduction data from CLAS and LEPS and the recent proton induced $phi$ production from COSY finding an overall good agreement. The results support the need of a quite large direct $phi N$-scattering contribution to the self-energy.
