Strangeness production was investigated during the equilibration of a gluon dominated parton plasma produced at RHIC and LHC energies. The time evolution of parton densities are followed by a set of rate equations in a 1-dimensional…
Under the working hypothesis that the structure of a bound hadron is modified by its interactions with other hadrons, one may expect to see changes in carefully chosen observables. In the light of a recent proposal to measure the axial…

We propose the study of the inclusive production of two $\Lambda$ hyperons or a single $\Lambda$-particle in association with a jet, featuring high transverse momenta and large separation in rapidity, as a probe channel of the resummation…
We investigate the production of a cascade hyperon (Xi) through the K^- + p --> K^+ (K^0) + Xi^- (Xi^0) reactions, within an effective Lagrangian model where these reactions proceed via excitations of Lambda and Sigma resonance intermediate…

We evaluate strangeness produced in Au--Au interactions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV, as function of reaction participant number $A$, and obtain the relative strange quark content at hadronization. Strange baryon and antibaryon rapidity…
The polarizations of Lambda and anti-Lambda are thought to retain memories of the spins of their parent s quarks and antiquarks, and are readily measurable via the angular distributions of their daughter protons and antiprotons.…
We investigate roads for evaluating model-independent cross-section distributions for the sequential hyperon decay $\Sigma^0\rightarrow\Lambda \gamma;\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^- $ and its corresponding antihyperon decay. The hyperons are…
