System-size dependence
The final state in The final state in heavy-ion collisions has a higher
degree of strangeness saturation than the one produced in collisions between
elementary particles like p-p or p-. A systematic analysis of this
phenomenon is made for C-C, Si-Si and Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN SPS collider
and for collisions at RHIC and at AGS energies. Strangeness saturation
is shown to increase smoothly with the number of participants at AGS, CERN and
RHIC energies.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, presented at SQM2003 conferenc
Strangeness Report
The paper provides a short report on strangeness production in
ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collision, with the main stress on strange
particle abundances.Comment: Proceedings of Quark Matter 200
