A simulation for transverse momentum spectra of strange particles yield, particle ratio and the average transverse momentum verses mass of the particles is reported at √s = 200 GeV in pp collisions by using various hadron production models. The models’ predictions, produced under the same conditions as the experimental data, are compared with the STAR measurements. Tsallis function is used to fit the experimental data as well as prediction of all the models. Though the models’ predictions compete the experimental data but none of the models meticulously reproduces all the distributions.
