Relativistic heavy ion collisions are studied assuming that particles can be described by a hadron gas in thermal and chemical equilibrium. The exact conservation of baryon number, strangeness and charge are explicitly taken into account.…
The spectra of strange hadrons have been measured in detail as a function of centrality for a variety of collision systems and energies at RHIC. Recent results are presented and compared to those measured at the SPS. The effects of the…

We propose a novel method for measuring the charge radii of charged stable hadrons, with which the first measurement of the charge radii of the $\Sigma^+$ and the $\Xi^-$ is foreseen. The method explores the facts that the Dalitz decay…

Recently, various types of "radii" have been intensively discussed in the literature: "charge", "mass", "mechanical", "gravitational", etc. In my report, I analyze the definitions of quantities of such type in terms of matrix elements of…
Results related to the possible chemical equilibration of hadrons in heavy ion collisions are reviewed. Overall the evidence is very strong with a few clear and well-documented deviations, especially concerning multi-strange hadrons. Two…

Data for magnetic moments and semileptonic decays show disagreements between experimental values and theoretical predictions not easily explained by simple models for $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ hyperons.
A brief survey is presented of recently discovered hadrons, some of them presumably demonstrating a new kind of internal structure. This includes : spin-singlet quarkonium, mesons with unexpected mass or width, baryons with two heavy…
We study the effects of strangeness on the quark sector of a hybrid star equation of state. Since the model we use to describe quarks is the same as the one we use to describe hadrons, we can also study the effects of strangeness on the…
The calculation of the strangeness content of the nucleon and its experimental verification is a fundamental step in establishing non-perturbative QCD as the correct theory describing the structure of hadrons. It holds a role in QCD…
Radiative decays of decuplet hyperons and octet hyperon charge radii are evaluated in a chiral constituent quark model emphasizing the role of exchange currents. Exchange currents largely cancel for the M1 decay amplitudes, while they…
The electromagnetic form factors are the most fundamental quantities to describe the internal structure of the nucleon and are related to the charge radii of the baryons. We have calculated the charge radii of octet baryons in the framework…

We extend the SHM analysis of hadron production results showing here consistency with the increased experimental data set, stability of the fit with regard to inclusion of finite resonance widths and 2-star hyperon resonances. We present…
