Production of phi-mesons on nuclear targets in the Quark-Gluon String model

We consider the experimental data on phi-meson production on nuclear targets, and we find that they present unusually small shadow corrections for the inclusive density in the midrapidity region. We also give a quantitatively consistent description of both the initial energy dependence and the A-dependence of the produced phi-mesons, obtained in the frame of the Quark-Gluon String Model.
