Strange hadrons have been suggested as sensitive probes of the properties of the nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions. At few-GeV collision energies, the formed medium is baryon-rich due to baryon stopping effect. In these…
We show that in sudden hadronization of QGP a non-equilibrium value of the pion phase space occupancy parameter gamma_q>1 is expected in order to accommodate the entropy excess in QGP and the process of gluon fragmentation. When gamma_q is…
A novel attempt has been made to probe the QCD phase boundary by using the experimental data for transverse momenta of {\phi} mesons produced in nuclear collisions at AGS, SPS and RHIC energies. The data are confronted with simple…
We use the available data on $<dN/dy>$ and $<\it{p}_T>$ for the identified hadrons including $\pi^{+}+\pi^{-}$, $K^{+}+K^{-}$, $p+\overline{p}$, $K^*(892)^0$ and $\varphi$-mesons, registered at midrapidity ($\vert y\vert < 0.5)$ in central…
A detailed analysis is performed of transverse momentum spectra of several identified hadrons in high energy collisions within the framework of the statistical model of hadronisation. The effect of the decay chain following hadron…
Abundances and $m_\bot$-spectra of strange and other hadronic particles emanating from central 158-200 A GeV reactions between nuclei are found to originate from a thermally equilibrated, deconfined source in chemical non-equilibrium.…
We interpret hadronic particle abundances produced in S--Au/W/Pb 200 A GeV reactions in terms of the final state hadronic phase space model and determine by a data fit of the chemical hadron freeze-out parameters. Allowing for the flavor…
This PhD thesis is about the production of strange particles in heavy-ion collisions at high energy produced at the SPS CERN syncrotron. Results are from experiment WA85 and WA97. They have been compared with VENUS and RQMD simulations. An…
We analyzed the transverse momentum {\ppt} spectra of different particle species containing strange quark {\ks}, {\lam (\alam)} and {\xim ({\axi})} in different centrality intervals at mid-rapidity ($y$) from {\auau} collisions at…
After reviewing the observables of QGP we perform an analysis of m_T spectra of strange hadrons measured as function of centrality in 156AGeV Pb--Pb interactions. We show that there is a good agreement between the chemical and thermal…
Transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 AGeV to 21.3 ATeV are investigated within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD). For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at…
A detailed analysis of transverse momentum spectra of several identified hadrons in high energy collisions within the canonical framework of the statistical model of hadronisation is performed. The study of particle momentum spectra…
The data on average hadron multiplicities in central A+A collisions measured at CERN SPS are analysed with the ideal hadron gas model. It is shown that the full chemical equilibrium version of the model fails to describe the experimental…
We study strangeness (K^+, K^-, and Lambda) production and flow in Ni+Ni collisions at 1-2 AGeV, based on the relativistic transport model including the strangeness degrees of freedom. We find that strangeness spectra and flow are sensitive…
The variation of average transverse mass of identified hadrons with charge multiplicity have been studied for AGS, SPS and RHIC energies. The observation of a plateau in the average transverse mass for multiplicities corresponding to SPS…
The properties of phase diagram of strange quark matter in equilibrium with hadronic matter at finite temperature are studied, where the quark phase and hadron phase are treated by baryon density-dependent quark mass model and hadron…
Strangeness study is one of the major goal of the STAR experiment at RHIC. Results presented here have been obtained from analyses restricted to the mid-rapidity region of Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 130 GeV. An onset of the…
We investigate whether the quark gluon plasma (QGP) is created in small colliding systems from analyses of various hadron yields and their ratios in proton-proton (p+p), proton-lead (p+Pb) and lead-lead (Pb+Pb) collisions at LHC energies.…
Strangeness flavor has turned out to be a very effective diagnostic tool of relativistic heavy ion physics. The absolute yield provides information about conditions arising in first instants of the interaction. Strange hadrons are abundant…
The history and the main results of the energy scan program at the CERN SPS are reviewed. Several anomalies in energy dependence of hadron production predicted as signals of deconfinement phase transition are observed and they indicate that…
