We review the present status of the experimental and theoretical developments in the field of
strangeness in nuclei and neutron stars. We start by discussing the K ̄ N interaction, that is …

We discuss the basic ideas of relativistic transport models used for the interpretation and
description of experimental data from heavy-ion collisions at high collision energies. We …

The article reviews the physics related to kaon and antikaon production in heavy ion
reactions at intermediate energies. Chiral dynamics predicts substantial modifications of the …

We discuss strangeness production close to the threshold in p+ A and A+ A collision.
Comparing the body of available K+, K0, K−, and Λ data with the IQMD transport code and …

We study the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark–
meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on a mean field description of non …

A set of coupled two-body scattering equations is solved for the DN system embedded in an
isosymmetric nuclear matter. The in-medium behavior of charmed D mesons,(D+, D 0), is …

We study the properties of open-charm mesons (D and D¯) in nuclear matter at finite
temperature within a self-consistent coupled-channel approach. The meson-baryon …

This paper summarizes the yields and the emission patterns of K+ and of K-mesons
measured in inclusive C+ C, Ni+ Ni, and Au+ Au collisions at incident energies from 0. 6 A to …

We review dynamical and thermal models for the collectivity and the suppression pattern of
charmed mesons—produced in proton–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions at SPS …

We study the in-medium effects in strangeness production in heavy-ion collisions at (sub)
threshold energies of (1–2) A GeV based on the microscopic Parton-Hadron-String …
