We address the question of how to identify the QCD phase transition using measured light (u,d,s-structured) hadrons, without invoking comparison to the QCD $\epsilon_c$ predictions, and extract $\epsilon_c$ from the data. We analyse several…
We study multistrange hadrons produced in NA49 and STAR experiments at center of mass energies varying from \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.61 GeV to 200 GeV. We show that the yields of {\Xi}, {\Xi}-bar and {\phi} can help to constrain the physical…
