Production of charged kaons in Ar Sc collisions

Inclusive spectra of the kaons produced in Ar Sc collisions as functions of their transverse momentum p_T at mid-rapidity have been calculated within the approach based on the assumption of the similarity of inclusive spectra of the hadrons produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at their small transverse momenta in the mid-rapidity region taking into account the quark-gluon dynamics in nucleon-nucleon interactions. This article gives a satisfactory description of NA61/SHINE data on p_T-spectra of the K^± mesons produced in ArSc collisions at the mid-rapdity (y≃ 0).
