We review the chemical and kinetic freeze‐out conditions in high energy heavy‐ion
collisions for AGS, SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies. Chemical freeze‐out parameters are …

Polarized quarks and antiquarks in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can lead to the spin
alignment of vector mesons formed by quark coalescence. Using the relativistic spin …

Strange particles have been a very important observable in the search for a deconfined state
of strongly interacting matter, the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), which is expected to be …

The yields of the K*(892) 0 and ϕ (1020) resonances are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at s
NN= 2.76 TeV through their hadronic decays using the ALICE detector. The measurements …

We report a new measurement of D 0-meson production at mid-rapidity (| y|< 1) in Au+ Au
collisions at s NN= 200 GeV utilizing the heavy flavor tracker, a high resolution silicon …

We study the rapidity and azimuthal angle dependences of the global spin alignment ρ 00
for ϕ mesons with respect to the reaction plane in Au+ Au collisions at the BNL Relativistic …

We present STAR measurements of strange hadron (KS 0, Λ, Λ¯, Ξ−, Ξ¯+, Ω−, Ω¯+, and ϕ)
production at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 7.7–39 GeV from the Beam …

The production of mesons containing strange quarks (K^ 0 _ S, φ) and both singly and
doubly strange baryons (Λ, Λ, and Ξ^-+ Ξ^+) are measured at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at …

Parity (P)-odd domains, corresponding to nontrivial topological solutions of the QCD
vacuum, might be created during relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These domains are …

We report the first measurement of charmed-hadron (D 0) production via the hadronic decay
channel (D 0→ K-+ π+) in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 200 GeV with the STAR experiment …
