One of the primary aims of heavy-ion collisions is to map the QCD phase diagram and search for different phases and phase boundaries. RHIC Energy Scan Program was launched to address this goal by studying heavy-ion collisions at different…
We report on the measurements of strange hadron ($K^0_S$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$) production in the most central (0-20%) d+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV in STAR. Significant strangeness enhancement is observed in the most central d+Au…
