We study the $K^*$ meson reduction in heavy ion collisions by focusing on the hadronic effects on the $K^*$ meson abundance. We evaluate the absorption cross sections of the $K^*$ and $K$ meson by light mesons in the hadronic matter, and…
The nuclear symmetry energy as a function of density is rather poorly constrained theoretically and experimentally both below saturation density, but particularly at high density, where very few relevant experimental data exist. We discuss…
We reexamine in the relativistic transport model the dependence of kaon yield on the nuclear equation of state in heavy ion collisions at energies that are below the threshold for kaon production from the nucleon-nucleon interaction in free…
Hadron spectra measured in high-energy collisions present distributions which can be derived from the non-extensive statistical and thermodynamical phenomena. Based on earlier theoretical developments, it seems, the methods are very…
Within an isospin- and momentum-dependent hadronic transport model it is shown that the recent FOPI data on the $\pi^-/\pi^+$ ratio in central heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies (Willy Reisdorf {\it et al.}, NPA {\bf 781}, 459 (2007))…
We demonstrate that proton and pion flow measurements in heavy-ion collisions at incident energies ranging from 1 to 20 GeV per nucleon in the fixed target frame can be used for an accurate determination of the symmetric nuclear matter…
In relativistic heavy ion collisions, the $p_T$ distributions of hadrons reflect the transverse motion generated during the collision and therefore the collision dynamics. The moderate $p_T$ values measured to date at $\sqrt{s} \approx $ 20…

We compare relativistic transport model calculations to recent data on the sideward flow of neutral strange K^0_s mesons for Au+Au collisions at 6 AGeV. A soft nuclear equation of state is found to describe very well the positive proton…
The microscopic description of heavy-ion reactions at low beam energies is achieved within hadronic transport approaches. In this article a new approach SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons) is introduced and…
In previous analyses a two-component (soft+hard) model (TCM) was developed for identified-hadron (PID) spectra from 5 TeV $p$-Pb and 13 TeV $p$-$p$ collisions. Spectrum data are generally described within their statistical uncertainties.…

Quark-Gluon plasmas produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions quickly expand and cool, entering a phase consisting of multiple interacting hadronic resonances just below the QCD deconfinement temperature, $T\sim 155$ MeV. Numerical…
The recently discovered sharp peak in the K+/pi+ ratio in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed in the framework of the thermal model. In this model a rapid change is expected as the hadronic gas undergoes a transition from a…
The transport coefficients are known as the measure of system interactions, as well as the dynamical input of the hydrodynamic evolution equations of an expanding system created in the relativistic heavy ion collisions. In the current…
