Strange hadrons and their resonances: a diagnostic tool of QGP freeze-out dynamics
read the original abstract
We update our chemical analysis of (strange) hadrons produced at the SPS in Pb--Pb collisions at 158A GeV and and present a first chemical analysis of RHIC results. We report that the shape of (anti)hyperon m_T-spectra in a thermal freeze-out analysis leads to freeze-out conditions found in chemical analysis, implying sudden strange hyperon production. We discuss how a combined analysis of several strange hadron resonances of differing lifespan can be used to understand the dynamical process present during chemical and thermal freeze-outs. In medium resonance quenching is considered.

Probing Late-Stage Hadronic Interactions at High Baryon Density via $K^{*0}$ Production in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan Program
K*0/K yield ratios in central Au+Au collisions at BES energies are suppressed relative to peripheral collisions and thermal predictions, indicating hadronic rescattering that strengthens at lower energies.

$K^*(892)$ Resonance Suppression in Ar+Sc Collisions at SPS Energies
UrQMD model simulations of K* resonances in Ar+Sc collisions at SPS energies capture essential features but underpredict the strong suppression observed in central NA61/SHINE data.
