Relativistic heavy ion collisions are studied taking the exact conservation of baryon number, strangeness and charge explicitly into account.
We discuss systematic uncertainties in the chemical freeze-out parameters from the $\chi^2$ analysis of hadron multiplicity ratios in the heavy-ion collision experiments. The systematics due to the choice of specific hadron ratios are found…
We review the methods and results obtained in an analysis of the experimental heavy ion collision research program at nuclear beam energy of 160-200A GeV. We study strange, and more generally, hadronic particle production experimental data.…
The scattering cross sections of charm mesons with hadrons such as the pion, rho meson, and nucleon are studied in an effective Lagrangian. In heavy ion collisions, rescattering of produced charm mesons by hadrons affects the invariant mass…
We develop a model to calculate strangeness production in both elementary and heavy ion collisions, within the framework of a statistical approach to hadronisation. Calculations are based on the canonical partition function of the thermal…
Identifying hadronic molecular states and/or hadrons with multi-quark components either with or without exotic quantum numbers is a long standing challenge in hadronic physics. We suggest that studying the production of these hadrons in…
Hadron multiplicities --- especially for strange particles --- are calculated in the framework of the algebraic coalescence rehadronization model (ALCOR), which counts for redistribution of quarks into hadrons for relativistic heavy-ion…

The production and the observability of $\Lambda(1520)$, $K^0(892)$ $\Phi$ and $\Delta(1232)$ hadron resonances in central Pb+Pb collisions at 160 AGeV is addressed. The rescattering probabilities of the resonance decay products in the…
We discuss the question of equilibriation in heavy ion collisions and how it can be addressed in experiment
We discuss how the inclusion of Hagedorn states near $T_c$ leads to short chemical equilibration times of proton anti-proton pairs, $K\bar{K}$ pairs, and $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ pairs, which indicates that hadrons do not need to be "born"…
Recent results related to the chemical equilibration of hadrons in the final state of p-p and heavy ion collisions are reviewed.
We construct the QCD equation of state at finite chemical potentials including net baryon, electric charge, and strangeness based on the results of lattice QCD simulations and the hadron resonance gas model. The situation of strangeness…
