We investigate transverse hadron spectra from relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions which reflect important aspects of the dynamics - such as the generation of pressure - in the hot and dense zone formed in the early phase of the…
We study the $K^*$ meson dissociation in heavy ion collisions during the hadron gas phase. We use the production and absorption cross sections of the $K^*$ and $K$ mesons in a hadron gas, which were calculated in a previous work. We compute…
The sharp peak in the K+/pi+ ratio in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed in the framework of the Statistical Model. In this model a rapid change is expected as the hadronic gas undergoes a transition from a baryon-dominated to a…

To assess the degree of equilibration of the matter created in heavy-ion reactions at low to intermediate beam energies, a hadronic transport approach (SMASH) is employed. By using a coarse-graining method, we compute the energy momentum…

We investigate the transverse dynamics in Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_NN}=200 GeV by emphasis upon the interplay between soft and hard components through p_T dependences of particle spectra, ratios of yields, suppression factors, and…
The parametrizations of experimental yields of K$^{\pm,0}$, $\phi$ and $\Lambda+\Sigma^0$ are proposed as function of available energy, $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$, and number of participants, $\langle A_\mathrm{part} \rangle_\mathrm{b}$, for…
Using the string melting version of a multiphase transport model, we focus on the evolution of thermodynamic properties of the central cell of parton matter produced in Au$+$Au collisions ranging from 200 GeV down to 2.7 GeV. The…

The properties of $\pi, \eta, K^+$ and $K^-$ mesons are studied in nuclear reactions from SIS to SPS energies within the covariant transport approach HSD in comparison to the experimental data. Whereas the pion, $\eta$ and kaon abundancies…
The PHENIX experiment has measured {\piz}s in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_{NN}) = 200 GeV, with good statistics for transverse momentum, pT, up to 20 GeV/c. A fivefold suppression is found, which is essentially constant for 5<pT<20 GeV/c.…
The equilibration of hot and dense nuclear matter produced in the central region in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$ AGeV is studied within the microscopic transport model UrQMD. The pressure here becomes isotropic at $t \approx…

Results for response functions for kaon electroproduction on the proton are presented. A tree-level hadrodynamical model is adopted and it is shown that some of the electroproduction response functions are particularly powerful with the eye…
Within the possible least uncertainty on the nuclear incompressibility $K_{0}$, we examine effects of $K_{0}$ in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies. Based on simulations of Au + Au collision at 400 MeV/nucleon using an isospin-…

We discuss how the main features of high-energy `soft' and `semihard' pp collisions may be described in terms of parton cascades and multi-Pomeron exchange. The interaction between Pomerons produces an effective infrared cutoff, k_sat, by…
