Local measurements of the Hubble constant currently disagree with the high-precision value that is inferred from the CMB under the assumption of a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. The significance of this tension clearly motivates studying…
The present status of the thermal model is reviewed and the recently discovered sharp peak in the $K^+/\pi^+$ ratio is discussed in this framework. It is shown that the rapid change is related to a transition from a baryon dominated…
