Strangeness at SIS energies
In this contribution we discuss the physics of strange hadrons in low energy
() heavy ion collision. In this energy range the relevant
strange particle are the kaons and anti-kaons. The most interesting aspect
concerning these particles are so called in-medium modifications. We will
attempt to review the current status of understanding of these in medium
modifications. In addition we will briefly discuss other issues related with
kaon production, such as the nuclear equation of state and chemical
equilibrium.Comment: Proceedings Strange Quark Matter 2003, Atlantic Beach, NC, USA, March
