Two signatures of the quark-gluon plasma - strangeness `enhancement' and J/psi `suppression' - in nucleus-nucleus collisions are critically discussed. A recently developed statistical coalescence model for J/\psi production is presented.…
HADES data on a strangeness production in Ar+KCl collisions at 1.76A GeV are analyzed within a minimal statistical model. The total negative strangeness content is fixed by the observed K^+ multiplicities on event-by-event basis. Particles…
Since the discovery of the $\Lambda(1405)$, it remains poorly described by conventional constituent quark models, and it is a candidate for having an "exotic" meson-baryon or "penta-quark" structure, similar to states recently reported in…
Multi-strange baryon correlations with charged hadrons have been measured in the p+p and d+Au reference systems at s^(0.5) = 200 GeV per nucleon pair, for future comparison with correlations in Au+Au collisions. Weak correlation peaks are…
Using data collected with the CLEO III detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we study the inclusive production of baryons/antibaryons (p, /) and mesons (phi and f_2(1270)) in gluon-fragmentation and quark-fragmentation processes.…
We discuss the possibility of generation of baryon inhomogeneities in a quark-gluon plasma phase due to moving Z(3) interfaces. By modeling the dependence of effective mass of the quarks on the Polyakov loop order parameter, we study the…
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab has observed $p\bar{p}$ and, for the first time, $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ and $p\bar{\Lambda}$ photoproduction from a proton target at photon energies up to 11.6 GeV. The angular distributions are forward…
The character of asymmetry between the spectra of Lambda_c and antiLambda_c in the E781 experiment (FNAL) is discussed on the basis of the Quark Gluon String Model(QGSM). As it was shown in the description of the asymmetry between the…
Strange hadron production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV is studied with PYTHIA 8 and EPOS event generators via the two-particle correlation method. After pairing charged particles as trigger particles with associated strange hadrons…
We study the production of charmed baryons in the antiproton-proton and antiproton-nucleus interactions within a fully covariant model that is based on an effective Lagrangian approach. The baryon production proceeds via the $t$-channel…
Within an extended chiral constituent quark formalism, we investigate contributions from all possible five-quark components in the octet baryons to the pion-baryon ($\sigma_{\pi B}$) and strangeness-baryon ($\sigma_{s B}$) sigma terms; $B…

We present the scaling properties of Lambda, Xi, Omega and their anti-particles produced at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at RHIC at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The yield of multi-strange baryons per participant nucleon increases from…
Cross sections for the charm-production reactions $\bar p p \to \bar \Lambda_c^- \Sigma_c^+$, $\bar \Sigma_c\Sigma_c$, $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$, and $\bar \Xi_c'\Xi_c'$ are presented, for energies near their respective thresholds. The results are…
A simple parton cascade model for the ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is proposed to investigate the Pauli blocking at the transition from hadronic to partonic state, i.e. QGP. A boost invariant study of the Pauli blocking is…
We calculate the antibaryon-to-baryon ratios, anti-p/p, anti-Lambda/Lambda, anti-Xi/Xi, and anti-Omega/Omega for Au+Au collisions at RHIC (sqrt{s}_{NN}=200 GeV). The effects of strong color fields associated with an enhanced strangeness and…
We estimate the high-energy behavior of the $\Theta^+$ and $\Lambda(1520)$ production cross sections in inclusive $pp$ collisions using the $K$ exchange diagram. We show that the cross section of the $\Theta^+$-production is suppressed…
Compelling evidence for a new form of matter has been claimed to be formed in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS. We critically review two suggested signatures for this new state of matter: First the suppression of the J/$\Psi$, which should be…
One of the goals of hypernuclear physics is to study the properties of baryon-baryon interaction including the strangeness contribution. Double hypernuclei can provide information about the $\Lambda\Lambda$ interaction in addition to the…
