Using heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory to one loop, we derive an analytic and parameter-free expression for the momentum dependence of the strange magnetic form factor of the nucleon $G_M^{(s)} (Q^2)$ and its corresponding radius.…
We study the sigma term and the strange quark content of nucleon in 2+1-flavor QCD with dynamical overlap fermions. We analyze the lattice data of nucleon mass taken at two different strange quark masses with five values of up and down…
The total contribution of strange quarks to the intrinsic spin of the nucleon can be determined from a measurement of the strange-quark contribution to the nucleon's elastic axial form factor. We have studied the strangeness contribution to…
We investigated the form factors of the nucleon associated with the nonet vector current in the framework of the generalized Yabu--Ando approach to the chiral soliton of the Nambu--Jona--Lasinio model. We introduce a variational parameter…
We report on recent lattice QCD calculations of the strangeness magnetic moment of the nucleon and the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, when we allow the electromagnetic current to connect to quark loops as well as to the valence…
Since the incident nuclei in heavy-ion collisions do not carry strangeness, the global net strangeness of the detected hadrons has to vanish. We show that there is an intimate relation between strangeness neutrality and baryon-strangeness…
Enhancement in strangeness production and antihyperon to antibaryon ratio are two important signatures of QGP formation. Both signatures have been measured at the AGS. A review of these measurements is given. Implications of the…
The nucleon form factors provide fundamental knowledge about the strong interaction. We review the flavor composition of the nucleon form factors and focus on an analysis of the possible impact of the s-quark contribution. A future…
A brief summary of strangeness mile stones is followed by a chemical non-equilibrium statistical hadronization analysis of strangeness results at SPS and RHIC. Strange particle production in AA interactions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}\ge 8.6 GeV can…
The strange form factors of the nucleon are studied in a two-component model consisting of a three-quark intrinsic structure surrounded by a meson cloud. A comparison with the available experimental world data from the SAMPLE, PVA4, HAPPEX…
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.…
We revisit the classical relation between the strangeness content of the nucleon, the pion-nucleon sigma term and the $SU(3)_F$ breaking of the baryon masses in the context of Lorentz covariant chiral perturbation theory with explicit…
The possibility to determine the axial strange form factor of the nucleon from neutrino scattering experiments is studied. The existing experimental information is reviewed and several related observables which could be measured in the near…
The simplest models might describe the nucleon as 3 light quarks, but this description would be incomplete without inclusion of the sea of glue and q-qbar pairs which binds it. Early indications of a particularly large contribution from…
Selected topics in Strangeness Nuclear Physics are reviewed: Lambda-hypernuclear spectroscopy and structure, Sigma-hyperon nuclear interaction, multistrangeness, and anti-kaons in nuclei.
The correlation between baryon number and strangeness elucidates the nature of strongly interacting matter, such as that formed transiently in high-energy nuclear collisions. This diagnostic can be extracted theoretically from lattice QCD…
We discuss the role of strangeness on the internal constitution and structural properties of neutron stars. In particular, we report on recent calculations of hyperon star properties derived from microscopic equations of state for hyperonic…
A model combining vector meson dominance, $\omega - \phi$ mixing and a kaon cloud contribution is used to estimate the strangeness vector form factors of the nucleon in the momentum range of the planned measurements at MIT-Bates and CEBAF.…
We present preliminary results for strangeness form factors of the nucleon computed on the CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of O($a$)-improved Wilson fermions. Our calculations are performed at two values of the lattice spacing ($a \in…
Relativistic heavy ion collisions offer the possibility to produce exotic metastable states of nuclear matter containing (roughly) equal number of strangeness compared to the content in baryon number. The reasoning of both their stability…
