Kaon production at subthreshold and threshold energies

Abstract
We summarize what we have learnt about the kaon production in nucleus-nucleus collisions in the last decade. We will address three questions: a) Is the production sensitive to the nuclear equation of state? b) How can it happen that at the same excess energy the same number of and are produced in heavy ion collisions although the elementary cross section in pp collisions differs by orders of magnitudes? and c) Why kaons don't flow?
