Abstract
The pion and kaon production in heavy-ion reactions at 1 GeV/nucleon h as been investigated in the relativistic Vlasor-Uehling-Uhlenbeck mode l, which has been generalized to include the effect of nuclear medium on kaon and pion. The calculated results show that the attractive pion optical potential not only enhances apparently the yield of pions wit h low transverse momenta, leading to a reasonable fit to the experimen tal data, but also increases the kaon abundance.
