A search for heavy resonances with masses above 1 TeV, decaying to final states containing a vector boson and a Higgs boson, is presented. The search considers hadronic decays of the vector boson, and Higgs boson decays to b quarks. The…
We examine the influence of resonance decay dynamics on momentum spectra of pions in heavy-ion collisions. Taking the decay $\omega \rightarrow 3 \pi$ as an example, we demonstrate how details of the decay matrix element can modify the…
We construct a hadronic kinetic model for description of excitation functions of multiplicity ratios K+/pi+, K-/pi-, and Lambda/pi. It is shown that the model is able to describe data rather well under the assumption that the total lifespan…
Recent measurements in small collision systems at the LHC show striking similarities between high multiplicity pp, p-Pb collisions and Pb-Pb collisions. In particular, study of hadronic resonances provide valuable information about the…
The final stage of a relativistic heavy-ion collision is a hadron gas. Final-state interactions therein distort the $p_T$ spectrum of particles coming from the phase transition upon cooling the quark-gluon plasma. Using recent…
Analysis of hadron production experimental data allows to understand the properties of the dense matter fireball produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We interpret the analysis results and argue that color deconfined state has been…

The properties of strange pseudoscalar and vectors mesons as well as strange baryon resonances in dense matter are reviewed. Some open questions on the properties of strange hadrons in medium are addressed, such as the experimental…
We study coherent photoproduction of $\psi'$ and the subsequent suppression in high energy nuclear collisions. The hot medium effect on charmonium photoproduction is controlled by the competition between the fireball size and nuclear size.…
We have studied the phase diagram and evolution of a strangelet in equilibrium with a finite hadronic gas. Significant finite size modifications of the phase diagram are found and their parameter dependences are studied. With the inclusion…
The hadronic phase in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions has a large influence on final state observables like multiplicity, flow and $p_t$ spectra, as studied in the UrQMD approach. In this model one assumes that a non-equilibrium…
I present recent results on the theory of QCD matter production in high energy heavy ion collisions and on the interactions of heavy quarks in such environment. The centrality and rapidity dependence of hadron production is evaluated in…
The mass shift and width broadening of $\rho$-mesons produced in heavy ion collisions is estimated. It is found that the mass increases by some tens of MeV but the width becomes large, increasing by 200 MeV at beam energies of a few…
For the study of the $\Sigma$ resonances, we analyze the differential cross sections and $\Lambda$ polarizations for the reactions $K^-n\to\pi^-\Lambda$ and $K^-p\to\pi^0\Lambda$ with an effective Lagrangian approach. Data of an early…
The problem of forward production of hadrons in heavy-ion collision at RHIC is revisited with modification of the theoretical treatment on the one hand and with the use of new data on the other. The basic formalism for hadronization remains…
The effect of $\Sigma^*(1385)$ baryon resonance on the time evolution of the $\Lambda$ hyperon polarization in hadronic matter is studied using a kinetic approach. This approach explicitly includes the production of the $\Sigma^*$ resonance…
Hadronic resonance production plays an important role both in elementary and in nucleus-nucleus collisions. In heavy-ion collisions, since the lifetimes of short-lived resonances are comparable with the lifetime of the late hadronic phase,…
The diffusion coefficients of heavy quarks from the coherent color electromagnetic fields which are generated in the early stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions are calculated at midrapidity, and compared with those obtained from…
We provide a method to test if hadrons produced in high energy heavy ion collisions were emitted at freeze-out from an equilibrium hadron gas. Our considerations are based on an ideal gas at fixed temperature $T_f$, baryon number density…
We describe the remarkable accomplishments of the current heavy ion Pb--Pb collision experiments involving strange particle production, carried out at 158A GeV at CERN--SPS. These experimental results, together with the earlier 200A GeV…
