We present the predictions of various observables for strange ($\mathrm{K}^{0}_{\mathrm S}$, $\Lambda$($\overline{\Lambda}$)) and multi-strange hadrons ($\Xi^-$($\overline{\Xi}^+$), $\phi$, and $\Omega^-$($\overline{\Omega}^+$)) using the…
Strangeness enhancement is considered as a potential signature for QGP phase transition. Here we claim the observation of strangeness enhancement in proton-proton (pp) collisions at RHIC energy saying the de-confinement phase is reached.…
We present measurements of the transverse momentum spectra, yield and <pT> systematics for K0short, Lambda and Anti-Lambda in $p+p$ collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV. We show a dependence of the <pT> with event multiplicity and infer that this…
In a dynamical model of QGP at RHIC we obtain the temporal evolution of strange phase space occupancy at conditions expected to occur in 100+100A GeV nuclear collisions. We show that the sudden QGP break up model developed to describe the…
The measured K$^+/\pi^+$ ratios from heavy-ion reactions are compared with the K$^+/\pi^+$ ratios from p+p reactions over the energy range 2-160 AGeV. The K/$\pi$ enhancement in heavy-ion reactions is largest at the lower energies,…
The ALICE experiment has studied strangeness production in different collision systems (pp, p-Pb, Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb) and energies. The ratio of the strange particle yield to pion yield as a function of multiplicity for different collision…

We review the current status of strangeness as signature of the formation and dissociation of the deconfined QGP at the SPS energy scale, and present the status of our considerations for RHIC energies. By analyzing, within the framework of…
