Strangeness Production in Nuclear Matter and Expansion Dynamics
Thermodynamical properties of hot and dense nuclear matter are analyzed and
compared for different equation of state (EoS). It is argued that the softest
point of the equation of state and the strangeness separation on the phase
boundary can manifest themselves in observables. The influence of the EoS and
the order of the phase transition on the expansion dynamics of nuclear matter
and strangeness excitation function is analyzed. It is shown that bulk
properties of strangeness production in A-A collisions depend only weakly on
the particular form of the EoS. The predictions of different models are related
with experimental data on strangeness production.Comment: 38 page
