Strangeness : Theoretical Status *
نویسنده
چکیده
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 collisions. It is shown that ratios provide an excellent method for determining the temperature and the chemical potential since many theoretical uncertainties cancel out. All indications are that particle abundances are very close to chemical equilibrium. The amount of strangeness present in S − S collisions is very close to the one corresponding to chemical equilibrium. Deviations are at the 30% level.

Importance of reaction volume in hadronic collisions: Canonical enhancement
We study the canonical flavor enhancement. The theoretical motivation, and practical consequences, for both strangeness, and charm, are explored. We argue using qualitative and quantitative theoretical arguments, that this proposal to reevaluate strangeness signature of quark–gluon plasma is without merit. Submitted to: J. Phys. G: Nucl. Phys. Proceedings of Strange Quark Matter 2001, Frankfurt...
متن کاملStatus of Strangeness-Flavor Signature of QGP
Matter made of free quarks has been discussed in literature for more than 30 years. For further theoretical details and historical developments we refer to the ‘Theoretical Foundations’ collection of QGP articles [1]. Today, many believe that a new state of matter made of free quarks has been formed in relativistic nuclear collisions. Is this ‘really’ the interacting plasma of QCD quanta, quark...
متن کاملA relaxation of the strangeness index, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2932
A new index closely related to the strangeness index of a differential-algebraic equation is presented. Basic properties of the strangeness index are shown to be valid also for the new index. The definition of the new index is conceptually simpler than that of the strangeness index, hence making it potentially better suited for both practical applications and theoretical developments.

Hypernuclear physics offers the unique possibility to study the behaviour of the hyperon-nucleon (Y N ) and the hyperon-hyperon (Y Y ) interaction inside excited hadronic matter [1] at terrestrial laboratories, such as the FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt. Such investigations are important for a better understanding of the strangeness sector of the equation of state, a topic of current research,...
متن کاملEnergy Scale Fields Effective
Rare K decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavour theory. They can provide new signals of CP–violation phenomena and, perhaps, a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. The interplay of long–distance QCD effects in strangeness–changing transitions can be analyzed with Chiral Perturbation Theory techniques. Some theoretical predictions obtained within this framework...
