The minimum bias differential yield is reported for ,
,
,
and
strange hadrons, obtained from
collisions at RHIC energies of
as a function of
in kinematic range of
and pseudorapidity region of
using PYTHIA8 and HIJING2 event generators. The PYTHIA8 is tuned to different Colour Reconnection (CR) modes, and results are compared with STAR data at RHIC. PYTHIA8 predictions agree with STAR data at low
values, while underestimate at high
values.The observed deviations in CR0 are due to multiparton interactions, the deviations in CR1 are due to QCD effects. At low
, the non-pQCD effects are dominant, while at high
, the pQCD effects are dominant. The deviations in CR2 mode is due to the minimization of strings followed by different colour combinations, and the deviations in case of CR3 mode is connected with strings as viewed diagonally in extended bags. HIJING2 predictions explain the STAR data very well over the entire
region.
