Energy and system size dependence of phi meson production in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions

We study the beam-energy and system-size dependence of ϕ meson production (using the hadronic decay mode ϕ→K+K− ) by comparing the new results from Cu+Cu collisions and previously reported Au+Au collisions at sNN=62.4 and 200 GeV measured in the STAR experiment at RHIC. Data presented in this Letter are from mid-rapidity ( |y|<0.5 ) for 0.4
