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…
The excitation functions of $K^+$ and $K^-$ mesons in heavy ion collisions are studied within a statistical model assuming chemical and thermal equilibrium with exact strangeness conservation. At low incident energies the associate…
