Boost-invariant hadron production in high energy collisions occurs in causally disconnected regions of finite space-time size. As a result, globally conserved quantum numbers (charge, strangeness, baryon number) are conserved locally in…
We propose a simple model of production of strange baryons and antibaryons in nuclear collisions at the CERN SPS. The model takes into account both the increase of strangeness production in collisions of lighter ions and a possibility of…

Strangeness plays an important role in the study of quark matter since it indicates the rate at which new particles are being produced and therefore provides information about the degree of chemical equilibration reached in heavy ion…

Strangeness production has long been proposed as a diagnostic tool for understanding the dynamics of relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this presentation we review the traditional picture of strangeness enhancement as a signature for…
The strangeness content of hadronic matter is studied in a string-flip model that reproduces various aspects of the QCD-inspired phenomenology, such as quark clustering at low density and color deconfinement at high density, while avoiding…

It is shown that data on strange particle production as a function of centrality in Au-Au collisions at \sqrt(s)_{NN}= 200 GeV can be explained with a superposition of emission from a hadron gas at full chemical equilibrium (core) and from…
