Strangeness and quark–gluon plasma
Strangeness and quark–gluon plasma
A brief summary of strangeness milestones is followed by a chemical nonequilibrium statistical hadronization analysis of strangeness results at SPS and RHIC. Strange particle production in AA interactions at GeV can be understood consistently as originating from the deconfined quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in a sudden hadronization process. Onset of QGP …
