Strangeness plays an important role in the study of quark matter since it indicates the rate at which new particles are being produced and therefore provides information about the degree of chemical equilibration reached in heavy ion…
We report on the measurements of strange hadron ($K^0_S$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$) production in the most central (0-20%) d+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV in STAR. Significant strangeness enhancement is observed in the most central d+Au…
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…

A recent paper on energy dependence of strangeness production in A+A and p+p interactions written by Dunlop and Ogilvie (Phys. ReV. C61 031901(R) (2000) indicates that there is a significant misunderstanding about the concept of strangeness…
